The mantle transition zone (MTZ), which occurs 410–670 kilometers below Earth's surface, may store several oceans' worth of water. This water, which is carried to such depths by subducting tectonic ...

A low-velocity anomaly in the upper mantle beneath the Coral Sea, may be interpreted as a thermomechanical plume which interacts with subducting slabs, affecting offset intraplate volcanism and ...

These tend to be the most destructive earthquakes. In South Carolina the cause of the intraplate earthquakes is not so clear. From 2011 to 2024 South Carolina experienced 274 earthquakes ...

"This area experiences much plate movement as Santa Cruz Island "has upper plate strike-slip and normal faulting, plate boundary under-thrusting, outer rise extensional faulting, and intraplate ...

As per the NCS, the earthquake, which occurred at 23:46 IST, was shallow, with a depth of 75 kilometres. As a result, the region could be susceptible to aftershocks. The Tribune, now published ...

Engelmann spruce trees killed by the spruce beetle in Colorado’s Rio Grande National Forest. Insects and disease were the main culprits causing Colorado’s forests to become a carbon source in recent ...

ABSTRACT: Geological deformations are generally attributed to compressional, extensional and strike-slip processes. Since the breakup of Gondwana, torque deformation has been responsible for the ...

A 4.0 magnitude earthquake shook Delhi-NCR early Monday, with its epicenter near Durgabai Deshmukh College. Recorded at 5.36am, the tremor caused no i ...
