Mount Everest is part of the Himalayan mountain range in Asia where many of the world’s tallest mountains are found. Earth’s surface is made up of different sections called tectonic plates.

The Earth's hard outer layer (where we live) is called the crust. It is made up of large slabs called tectonic plates. The plates fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces far beneath our feet.

The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants ...

According to a study published in Scientific Reports, anomalies deep within the Earth's mantle appear to be remnants of submerged tectonic plates—but located far from where such plates are ...

Recent geological studies have raised intriguing questions about the future of the Indian subcontinent. Researchers have discovered evidence suggesting that the Indian tectonic plate may be splitting ...
