This surprising discovery comes just weeks after a major earthquake in Myanmar and could change how scientists understand the ...

This development may improve models used for earthquake forecasting in South Asia. By understanding the 3D dynamics of plate movement, geologists hope to enhance preparedness for seismic hazards and ...

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

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

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 ...

Two continents collided millions of years ago, forming a bridge that changed Earth's climate system and triggered one of history's greatest animal migrations.

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 ...

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 ...
