Another theory is that gravity is pulling the older, colder, and thus heavier ocean floor with more force than the newer, lighter seafloor. Whatever drives the movement, plate tectonic activity ...

Large scale landforms at a destructive plate boundary include super volcanoes, such as the Campi Flegrei volcano in Italy - where the Eurasian plate and the African Atlantic plate are moving ...

A large scale landform found along a conservative plate boundary is a fault line. One of the most active fault lines in the world is the San Andreas fault line in California, USA.

The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely responsible for the volcanoes ... The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another ...

Earth's crust today has a surprisingly similar composition to the planet's first outer shell, or "protocrust," new research ...

The theory states that Earth's outer shell is ... which formed when the Eurasian tectonic plate collided with the Arabian plate millions of years ago.

Iceland’s volcanic activity is generally tame compared with explosive eruptions along the Pacific’s Ring of Fire. This time, it’s shaking up a town.

A rare geological process is tearing the Indian Plate apart deep beneath the surface, scientists have discovered. In a study ...

India’s tectonic plate may be splitting into layers beneath Tibet, revealing mantle helium leaks and reshaping theories of ...

Indian tectonic plate is splitting beneath the Himalayas, revealing a dramatic twist in Earth's tectonic history, scientists ...

This surprising discovery comes just weeks after a major earthquake in Myanmar and could change how scientists understand the ...

Scientists previously assumed the Indian plate slid smoothly beneath Asia. The process was assumed to lift the mountains ...
