The Earth’s crust is divided into large, rigid tectonic plates that move over time, driving earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of continents. Since the breakup of the supercontinent ...

Plate boundaries are where the action is. A large fraction of all earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building occurs at plate boundaries. It is also where most of the people on Earth live.

An earthquake is extremely destructive if it occurs shallow in the Earth's crust and near population centres - Friday's earthquake in Myanmar did both.

It is highly prone to earthquakes due to its location on the boundary of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Pressure from a pool of magma has just cracked solid rock, creating a volcano-tectonic (VT) event. This type of quake produces relatively high-frequency shaking, usually between one and five ...

Scientists have long been puzzled by volcanoes that erupt far from the edges of tectonic plates—known as intraplate volcanoes ...

Gather your supplies! In this episode we will use everyday materials to learn about tectonic plates and fault lines.
