A quiet and slow-moving change is unfolding beneath the surface of East Africa– one that could, over millions of years, reshape not only the continent but the global map as we know it. Scientists ...

Their position – lying where the European, American, and African tectonic plates meet – means the landscape is ... Located 900 miles off the coast of East Africa, their closest neighbour, Madagascar, ...

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus's surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research ...

Earth’s crust is divided into huge, rigid tectonic plates that move across its surface. Their slow motion powers earthquakes, fuels volcanoes, and drives the endless reshaping of continents.

Variations in rock composition within oceanic plates influence their trajectory and subduction speed. These differences, inherited from ancient tectonic processes, play a key role in the dynamics of ...

Scientists have recently found new seismic data that shows that the Indian tectonic plate isn’t just sliding under the Eurasian plate as once believed, it’s actually splitting in two deep ...

In a development that could reshape our understanding of tectonic movement, scientists have found massive fractures forming inside the Pacific Plate– the biggest tectonic plate on Earth.
