Scientists analyzing seismic data from southern Tibet discovered that the Indian tectonic plate is fragmenting as it subducts beneath the Eurasian plate, reshaping our understanding of the forces ...

The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants ...

Plate tectonics give rise to Earth's mountain ranges, earthquakes and the long-term movement of continents, and may even have provided the right conditions for life on Earth. But as far as we know ...

According to a study published in Scientific Reports, anomalies deep within the Earth's mantle appear to be remnants of submerged tectonic plates—but located far from where such plates are ...

Beneath their majestic peaks, the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates engage in a slow-motion collision that began 60 million years ago. This geological clash not only created the mountains but ...

As two of Earth’s great tectonic plates crash together in super slow motion, the Mediterranean Sea is likely to be wiped off the face of the planet in the distant future, IFL Science reported.

The Earth's hard outer layer (where we live) is called the crust. It is made up of large slabs called tectonic plates. The plates fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces far beneath our feet.

Mexico lies on five tectonic plates that make it one of the world's most earthquake-vulnerable countries, particularly on the Pacific coast. In 1985 an 8.1 magnitude quake centered on the Pacific ...

Earth’s surface is made up of different sections called tectonic plates. Most mountains are fold mountains, which means they’re created when two tectonic plates collide, and they force the ...
