Carbon released from Earth's spreading tectonic plates, not volcanoes, may have triggered major transitions between ancient ice ages and warm climates, new research finds. Published in Communications ...

Earthquakes and volcanism occur as a result of plate tectonics. The movement of tectonic plates themselves is largely driven by the process known as subduction. The question of how new active ...

A study on tectonic plates that converge on the Tibetan Plateau has shown that Earth's fault lines are far weaker and the ...

New research reveals the source of this carbon – and the driving forces behind it – are far more complex than previously ...

Tectonic Metals ( (TSE:TECT)) has shared an announcement. Tectonic Metals reported a standout drill result from its Flat Gold Project’s Chicken Mountain target in southwest Alaska, highlighted by a ...

For millions of years, Earth’s moving plates have sculpted continents, carved oceans, and built massive mountain ranges. Yet some of these giant structures vanished deep into the mantle, hidden from ...

Scientists have produced the first global map and analysis of small mare ridges (SMRs) on the moon, a characteristic ...

A giant underwater canyon system in the Atlantic appears to have formed through tectonic forces rather than erosion.

The two halves of the African continent are moving apart at a rate of a few millimeters each year, geologists have calculated ...
