Recent discoveries offer deeper insight into the movement of tectonic plates. New research has found that variations in rock ...

At the end of the last Ice Age, around 10,000 years ago, the melting of massive glaciers may have done more than just raise ...

A recent study challenges the long-held belief of the Indian plate smoothly sliding under the Eurasian plate. Seismic data reveals the Indian plate is ...

Most geologic activity stems from the interplay where the plates meet or divide. The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one ...

The movement of tectonic plates shapes the rocky features of Earth's surface. Plates' convergence can form mountain ranges or ocean trenches, and their divergence can form oceanic ridges.

The study also provides a new approach to solving one of the biggest enduring scientific mysteries: when did plate tectonics begin?

If the findings are correct, these battered rocks might be the earliest evidence of horizontal plate movements, the researchers said, although not all experts are convinced. Plate tectonics ...

Join Isla and Connor as they explore features of tectonic movement along the Great Glen ... It is made up of large slabs called tectonic plates. The plates fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces ...

With a computer rendering, he helped scientists understand that the earth, with its shifting tectonic plates, is “an extraordinary living being” that is “continuously changing.” ...

This program explores the composition of our Earth, and delves deep into the tectonic plates, their history and the different ...
