Plate tectonics had arranged the world's continents into a single massive landmasses: Pangaea. Today I attempt to use my knowledge of geography to create a basic map of what this land might have ...

While there’s no singular quality that makes a great dinner plate, you know when you have a less-than specimen: It looks cheap, and it chips and scratches easily. Among those that are well made ...

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced signer, it's good to understand the different aspects of the language. This includes the basic signs and techniques, where you can find resources to learn ...

Plate tectonics give rise to Earth's mountain ranges, earthquakes and the long-term movement of continents, and may even have provided the right conditions for life on Earth. But as far as we know ...

Recently, I purchased a set of plates that looked like they were from the '70s, and I use them nearly every night. One evening while admiring the design, I began to wonder what year, exactly ...

Recent geological studies have raised intriguing questions about the future of the Indian subcontinent. Researchers have discovered evidence suggesting that the Indian tectonic plate may be splitting ...

Initially a standalone continent, it was separated from the Eurasian landmass by the Tethys Ocean. The two plates then began sliding towards each other. As the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates ...

Beneath their majestic peaks, the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates engage in a slow-motion collision that began 60 million years ago. This geological clash not only created the mountains but ...

Scientists analyzing seismic data from southern Tibet discovered that the Indian tectonic plate is fragmenting as it subducts beneath the Eurasian plate, reshaping our understanding of the forces ...

This flow is what drives the movement of tectonic plates on Earth’s surface, causing earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the shifting of continents. Heat from the Earth’s core causes convection ...

Mexico lies on five tectonic plates that make it one of the world's most earthquake-vulnerable countries, particularly on the Pacific coast. In 1985 an 8.1 magnitude quake centered on the Pacific ...
