Scientists have solved the mystery of how earthquakes can occur 420 miles deep inside Earth, where extreme pressure and heat ...

Love is a burning thing, and it makes a fiery ring […] And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire; the ring of fire.” This ...

The subterranean aquifer lurking in the mountains contains three times as much water as Lake Mead at full capacity.

Plates at subduction zones typically move just a few centimeters per year. But when accumulated stress at these convergent plate boundaries releases suddenly, the plates can slip several meters ...

Aside from the danger they pose, such earthquakes disrupt the slow, long-term changes occurring at subduction zones. The cycle of sudden earthquakes and slow plate movement makes it difficult for ...

The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants ...

Figure 1 illustrates three possible scenarios. In scenario I, spatially similar connectome patterns occur in the two modalities at the same time once accounting for the hemodynamic delay (i.e., are ...

Now, scientists aim to get their clearest picture yet of the complex mechanics of our big-risk Hikurangi Subduction Zone – and what sets it apart from similar systems around the planet.
