Earth has experienced many icehouse and greenhouse climates. A new study shows how they connect to plate tectonics.

Learn about the movement of tectonic plates off the coast of northern California, a process that could incite major ...

Earthquakes and volcanism occur as a result of plate tectonics. The movement of tectonic plates themselves is largely driven by the process known as subduction. The question of how new active ...

Tiny earthquakes have revealed potentially deadly hidden faults beneath California. By tracking swarms of very small tremors, ...

New research on the remixing of Earth's stratified deep interior suggests that global plate tectonic processes, which played a pivotal role in the existence of life on Earth, started to operate at ...

By tracking swarms of very small earthquakes, seismologists are getting a new picture of the complex region where the San ...

TORONTO, ON - Geoscientists at the University of Toronto (U of T) and Istanbul Technical University have discovered a new process in plate tectonics which shows that tremendous damage occurs to areas ...

This rift is slowly pulling the African continent apart, and over millions of years, it could isolate the eastern portion of ...

Scientists are uncovering a hidden and surprisingly complex earthquake zone beneath Northern California by tracking swarms of ...

Eruptions from volcanic arcs, found where tectonic plates converge, are one of the major drivers of natural carbon emissions, ...
