The Axial Seamount is located 300 miles off of the coast of Oregon. Researchers say it’s following patterns shown before its last eruption.

“Our research suggests that a giant hot blob of rock from the core-mantle boundary is present beneath East Africa, it is ...

Minor quakes can disrupt natural tectonic patterns deep underground and change stress landscape, new study finds.

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

Their simulations suggest that these giant sheets of ice may have sped up the motion of tectonic plates and even increased volcanic activity. The study, published in Nature, adds a new twist to th ...

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.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A major earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 struck in the South Atlantic Ocean off Chile and Argentina on Friday, prompting thousands in Chile to evacuate parts of the ...

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 ...

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A major earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 struck in the South Atlantic Ocean off Chile and Argentina on Friday, prompting thousands in Chile to evacuate parts of the sparsely ...

Scientists say East Africa is slowly splitting along a tectonic rift, potentially forming a new ocean over millions of years. The process, while gradual, offers rare insight into how continents ...
