Indian tectonic plate is splitting beneath the Himalayas, revealing a dramatic twist in Earth's tectonic history, scientists ...

A rare geological process is tearing the Indian Plate apart deep beneath the surface, scientists have discovered. In a study ...

Plate tectonics is geology’s Theory of Everything. The realisation in the 1960s that Earth’s crust is made of fragments ...

Seismic waves from earthquakes have always offered a window into Earth’s hidden interior. For decades, researchers believed ...

Learn how a computer simulation demonstrates that tectonic activity may be less slow and steady than previously thought.

Scientists believe that the motion of Earth's continents through plate tectonics has been largely steady over millions of years. New research, however, suggests this drift can speed up or slow down ...

As asteroid mining becomes a reality, scientists are questioning whether extracting space minerals could alter Earth’s ...

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 ...

Instead, it's undergoing a rare process called delamination ... “With a clearer three-dimensional image of how tectonic plates interact, scientists can better comprehend the Earth's surface ...

Seismologist Deborah Kilb was wading through California earthquake records from the past four decades when she noticed ...

Geologists have made a groundbreaking discovery: the Indian Plate is splitting, with a portion peeling away and sinking into the Earth's mantle. This delamination process, previously undetected, could ...

Scientists studying soil samples from Nasa's Curiosity rover have discovered that a carbon cycle similar to the one that sustains life on Earth once played out on the red planet. While it's unclear ...
