Venus may not have Earth-style tectonic plates, but it’s far from geologically quiet. A new model shows its crust is ...

A reappraisal of decades-old data suggests that strange circular formations on Venus could be volcanic “rings of fire” ...

Within the Tethyan realm, which was ringed by the massive supercontinent, oceanic plates formed and slipped beneath others along mostly east-west ridges and trenches. This steady subduction shaped ...

Abstract: Although subduction plays a dominant role in plate tectonics, related processes such as trench migration are not well understood. We investigate the influence of viscosity stratification and ...

Widjo Kongko, a researcher from BRIN’s Hydrodynamic Technology Research Centre, explained that the modelling simulates a 9.1 magnitude earthquake originating from the seismically active Manila Trench ...

(2016), and gray curve (right axis) shows how the modern-day subduction rate is partitioned according to the age of the downgoing plate at the trench. (c) Age dependence of seafloor depth (black) and ...

Can we bring the trench coat back? Long a staple for dapper gents and stylish musicians alike (think everyone from Prince to Oasis’ Liam Gallagher), the trench coat pulls double duty as ...
