Long-lost remnants of tectonic plates have been discovered sunken deep ... a plate boundary—anywhere near this region. A computer model visualization of material in the lower mantle.

To learn why, where, and how earthquakes happen, you need to familiarize your students with the interior of the Earth and a model called plate tectonics. The engine behind the earthquake machine ...

“Accurate spatial models of tectonic plates and geological terranes are important for analyzing and interpreting a wide variety of geoscientific data and developing compositional and physical ...

These ancient buried "super-continents"—known to scientists as large low-seismic-velocity provinces (LLSVPs)—were found ...

After some tweaking, the models showed that approximately 200 million years after Theia struck the Earth, pressure from the ...

The researchers theorize that these far-off remnants could either be deposits of silica-rich material that have hung around ...

Geophysicists at ETH Zurich are using models of the lower mantle to identify ... challenges our current understanding of the Earth's plate tectonics—and presents the researchers with a major ...

However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants can also be found far from subduction zones, complicating this-long held geologic narrative. The researchers theorize that these far ...
