How's your knowledge of Earth's geology? Flat, round or global?

Scientists discovered a hidden process where Earth's crust peels away and sinks, reshaping continents over millions of years, revealing Earth's slow evolution.

Deep within Earth’s mantle lie two enormous regions, often referred to as "islands," which are the size of continents.

Continent-size islands deep inside Earth's mantle could be more than a billion years old, a new study finds.
