For most of deep time, spreading ridges released more carbon than volcano chains, changing how we interpret Earth’s climate history.

When tens of thousands of earthquakes shook Santorini, the cause wasn’t just shifting tectonic plates—it was rising magma. Scientists tracked about 300 million cubic meters of molten rock pushing up ...

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

There's a deadly 40,000 km (29,400 mi)-long zone that passes through 15 countries. This area is dotted with volcanoes, giving it the name The Ring of Fire. And we've decided that right now, all 452 ...

Beneath the ocean’s rolling surface, there are mountains. Not the snowy peaks you hike, but vast, underwater volcanoes rising ...

Scientists discovered plate anomalies in Earth's mantle using seismic wave analysis. These mysterious structures challenge tectonic theories.

A long-dormant mud volcano erupted in Diglipur, Andaman Islands, prompting safety restrictions. Officials have cordoned off the site as scientists monitor continuing geological activity.

Mass extinction events throughout Earth’s history are characterized as significant disruptions to life on the planet. There have been five major extinction events that have fundamentally changed how ...

The changes are most visible in the Afar region of northeastern Ethiopia. Scientists say that the Gulf of Aden and the Red ...

Half of Earth’s oceans are more than 3.2km deep. Beneath them lie cavernous plains untouched by sunlight, vast gaping trenches made by Earth’s tectonic plates shifting, and ranges of underwater ...

For millions of years, the Earth has oscillated between ice ages and warmer episodes. The movements of the ground beneath our ...

A study on tectonic plates that converge on the Tibetan Plateau has shown that Earth's fault lines are far weaker and the continents are less rigid than scientists previously thought. This finding is ...
