A study reveals that the oldest continental crust on Earth is slowly being broken up by shifting tectonic forces.

It’s surprising to find remnants of a plate that we just didn’t know about at all,” Suzanna van de Lagemaat, the Utrecht University geologist whose work has reversed decades of conventional wisdom ...

It was as if the Earth itself was humming a strange, rhythmic tune—one that puzzled scientists worldwide. On September 16, 2023, a mysterious 10.88 mHz seismic signal was observed globally, persisting ...

Greece and Turkey experienced significant seismic activity on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, as two separate earthquakes struck the southeastern Aegean region, ending a period of relative seismic calm. The ...

Satellite footage has revealed that giant mega-tsunamis were the cause of seismic vibrations that rocked the planet for nine days, per a "Nature Communications" study making waves online.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone, stretching from northern California to British Columbia, is one of the most dangerous seismic hotspots in North America, capable of producing a massive 9.0 magnitude ...

The 1980 eruption cycle made Mount St. Helens one of the most famous volcanoes in the Cascades. But it is far from the only volcano in the range.
