Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

The Earth's surface is constantly reshaped by the movement of tectonic plates, which make up the continental crust on which ...

Over 25 years ago, researchers discovered that some of these deep Earth reverberations pointed to the existence of two ...

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

A record-breaking deep earthquake registered in May 2015 offshore of Japan likely was not a tectonic event but triggered by a ...

Scientists have discovered hidden treasures in the Earth's mantle. Hidden deep within Earth's mantle are two colossal ...

Their findings revealed the timing of ridge subduction -- when one tectonic plate was forced beneath another -- a process that shaped Japan's landscape and provided new insights into its ...

These tectonic plates are in continuous motion, and when one plate is pushed under another, it is called “subduction.” These processes play a crucial role in shaping the Earth’s landmasses ...

Amid Earth’s mobile tectonic plates, subduction zones arise as regions of intense geological activity and concentrate minerals into ore deposits like gold.

Deeply hidden in Earth’s mantle there are two huge ‘islands’ with the size of a continent. New research from Utrecht ...

The Earth's surface is constantly reshaped by the movement of tectonic plates, which make up the continental crust on which we are living. These ...
