A new study co-authored by researchers at Indiana University sheds light on how the forces that shape mountain ranges also influence the evolution of species. In the study, “Direct effects of mountain ...

Rising mountains do more than reshape the landscape – they also drive evolutionary change, according to a new study. By simulating millions of years of tectonic uplift, researchers have uncovered a ...

The film explores the dynamic nature of Earth's crust, detailing how it has evolved over billions of years. Initially formed from molten rock, the crust cools and hardens, leading to the creation of ...

They are often found together in a group called a mountain range. The highest mountain ranges are created by tectonic plates pushing together and forcing the ground up where they meet. This is how ...

Where plates serving landmasses collide, the crust crumples and buckles into mountain ranges. India and Asia crashed about 55 million years ago, slowly giving rise to the Himalaya, the highest ...
