Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As ...

The continents of Asia and Australia are on the verge of collision. It will occur sooner than you anticipate. And it’s moving ...

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

Plate tectonics raise mountains, while erosion—driven by glaciers, rain and ... A new study has revealed that two continent-sized regions in Earth's deep mantle have distinctive histories and ...

Incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may improve seismic forecasts and save lives.

And the models generated from these seismic recordings have shown scientists, over time, exactly where plates have pushed ...

Today, the upheavals of plate tectonics continually reshape Earth. When this began is much disputed - and we can’t fully ...

The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect seismic activity, however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth ...

Most earthquakes are caused by the movements of tectonic plates. Sometimes, tectonic plates move very slowly — at the rate your fingernails grow — without causing the ground to shake. But sometimes, ...

For millions of years, Earth’s shifting plates have shaped continents, formed oceans, and built towering mountain ranges. But ...

Most earthquakes are caused by the movements of tectonic plates. Sometimes, tectonic plates move very slowly — at the rate your fingernails grow — without causing the ground to shake.

Research unveils a new theory about the origin of the Great Lakes, challenging what we know about their age and formation.
