Learn how a computer simulation demonstrates that tectonic activity may be less slow and steady than previously thought.

Around 10,000 years ago, as the last Ice Age drew to a close, the drifting of the continent of North America, and spreading ...

New research suggests melting ice sheets are warming global temperatures which may speed up continental drift, creating ...

In the new research, geophysicists Tao Yuan and Shijie Zhong used computer simulations ... that processes like seafloor spreading and continental drift operate at timescales of millions of ...

In the new research, geophysicists Tao Yuan and Shijie Zhong used computer simulations, or models, to travel back roughly 26,000 years ... “That story that we’ve been telling for a long, long ...
