Join Isla and Connor as they explore features of tectonic movement along the Great Glen Way. ISLA: Loch Lochy! I think they ran out of ideas when they named this place. Great starting point for ...

Earth’s surface is constantly shifting, shaped by the slow but powerful movement of tectonic plates. While some plates have ...

Solar-driven temperature shifts alter rock properties and underground water movement, potentially making the Earth’s crust ...

Whatever drives the movement, plate tectonic activity takes place at four types of boundaries: divergent boundaries, where new crust is formed; convergent boundaries, where crust is consumed ...

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways ...

For millions of years, Earth’s shifting plates have shaped continents, formed oceans, and built towering mountain ranges. But ...

Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As ...

Solar heat may influence earthquakes and their timings by altering rock brittleness and underground water movement.

In the journal Chaos, researchers in Japan explore the likelihood that Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they ...

A breakthrough study has provided the most detailed 3D look yet at the inner workings of the Tonga Subduction Zone, where ...
