Elements of a newly discovered process in plate tectonics include a mass (rock slab weight), a pulley (trench), a dashpot (microcontinent), and a string (oceanic plate) that connects these elements to ...

Colossal 75 Mile Wide Rift Rips Open Beneath Northwest US In First Ever Recorded Plate Death
In September 2025, scientists captured a phenomenon never before seen in real time: a tectonic plate actively tearing apart ...
Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world’s most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology presents ...
Every year, earthquakes shake the ground and volcanoes erupt around the edges of tectonic plates—the massive pieces of Earth’s crust that slide slowly across the planet, creating and destroying ...
Scientists have uncovered evidence that part of the planet’s crust is breaking apart in what they describe as a geological ...
Earth’s crust may have gone on the move roughly 3.8 billion years ago. “Earth is actually quite distinct to other planets, in that it has plate tectonics,” says study coauthor Nadja Drabon, a ...
Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world's most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology presents ...
Long-lost remnants of tectonic plates have been discovered sunken deep inside the Earth's mantle. These plate remains were found lurking underneath the center of other continental plates, far from ...
A 2,500 km long line of volcanoes, with 80 volcanic mountains and 41 historically active (since 1760 AD) volcanoes produce an arc stretching along the southern edge of the Bering Sea and onto the ...
