Earth's surface is a turbulent place. Mountains rise, continents merge and split, and earthquakes shake the ground. All of these processes result from plate tectonics, the movement of enormous chunks ...

Emerging evidence suggests that plate tectonics, or the recycling of Earth's crust, may have begun much earlier than ...

With unprecedented clarity, scientists have directly observed a subduction zone—the collision point where one tectonic plate ...

Modern continental rocks carry chemical signatures from the very start of our planet's history, challenging current theories about plate tectonics. Researchers have made a new discovery that changes ...

LOS ANGELES (WKRC/CNN Newsource) - A published study claims the Earth's crust is peeling. Scientists have discovered evidence that the Earth's crust is peeling away beneath California's Sierra Nevada ...

A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new ...
