The Perseverance rover on Mars just took an amazing selfie - but some of its most exciting work is just beginning.

"We really need to understand the life cycle of a planetary body before we can do a lot with the exoplanet data." Only Earth has jigsaw-like tectonic plates ... and the rock record has completely ...

From the deepest ocean trench to the tallest mountain, plate tectonics explains the features and movement of Earth's surface in the present and the past. The theory of plate tectonics was ...

At least one person was killed, and several others were injured. The slow carbon cycle involves long-term processes like rock weathering and volcanic activity, transferring carbon over millions of ...

and the convection currents of molten rock below exert pressure on these chunks, causing them to push up against, slide by and separate from one another. This process, called plate tectonics, is ...

Plates, sitting on a layer of partially melted rock, are in constant motion as processes slowly push and pull beneath the surface. Plate tectonics ... study to show this cycle or argue there ...

That’s because carbon-rich materials are recycled back into the Earth’s interior at “subduction zones” – regions where one plate is thrust under another – in a process that helps to regulate the ...

This layer is a part of the asthenosphere, which sits beneath the tectonic plates. The asthenosphere exists as a soft layer of solid but malleable rock that can cause the tectonic plates to move ...

The Earth with the upper mantle revealed. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered a previously unknown layer of partly molten rock in a key region just below the tectonic ...
