Newly published research has revealed that compositional rock anomalies within oceanic plates caused by ancient tectonics ...

A massive 7.7 earthquake originating in Myanmar has collapsed buildings over 600 miles away in Bangkok, Thailand ...

The Earth is made up of different layers: Therefore, instead of tectonic plates moving because of the convection currents, evidence suggests it is the plates that drive the convection. Slab pull ...

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.

Using information from inside the rocks on Earth's surface, we have reconstructed the plate tectonics of the planet over the ...

According to current theories about plate tectonics, there should not be subducted ... a method that uses information from all frequencies of seismic waves—including P, S, and surface waves.
