Much of Zealandia’s descent can be traced back to movements of tectonic plates, which are massive slabs of Earth’s surface that shift over time. In some regions, plates converge, causing one plate to ...

The tech giant has smiled upon the Old Pueblo, making Tucson one of the first cities to appear in 3D via the Google Earth application, which ties still pictures together with locations.

Using whole-Earth oscillations to constrain a 3D global model of attenuation for the whole mantle, low attenuation correlates with low velocity in the lower mantle, suggesting long-lived deep ...

The goal is to combine the Stokes and energy equations with a realistic rheology, thereby letting us understand the complex dynamic coupling that occurs in the mantle and that gives rise to plate ...

One of the more distinctive things about Earth among the planets is that we have plate tectonics. In other words, the hard, outer shell of the planet (called the lithosphere) is divided into several ...

A massive boulder named Maka Lahi was recently found about 650 feet from the edge of a cliff in Tonga, and researchers ...

With 10 times the mass of our planet, and spending only part of its orbit in the habitable zone, Kepler-725c is very ...

Jordan Phethean stated in Phys.org, “Better knowledge of how these microcontinents form allows researchers to understand how plate tectonics operates on Earth, with useful implications for the ...

A local tour guide found a stegosaur dinosaur footprint at a famous fossil site in the UK while giving a tour.
