The dance of the continents has been reshaping Earth for billions of years, creating the landscapes we walk on today. Scientists are unlocking secrets about how plate tectonics forged our modern world ...
At school we're taught that Earth's tectonic plates are rigid and fit together like pieces in a puzzle. But It turns out that this theory may be wrong. A study has suggested that the plates that make ...
The team, led by the University of Adelaide, believes the updated model will help provide a better understanding of natural hazards like earthquakes and volcanoes. Tectonic plates are the gradual ...
The first direct evidence of how and when tectonic plates move into the deepest reaches of the Earth is published in Nature today. Scientists hope their description of how plates collide with one ...
Tsunami created by undersea earthquakes can be made much larger by the "pop-up" movement of large amounts of sediment, research suggests. These quakes release huge amounts of energy as tectonic plates ...
