anomalies deep within the Earth's mantle appear to be remnants of submerged tectonic plates—but located far from where such plates are typically found. Using high-resolution models and the Piz ...

These movements, called convection, are responsible for plate tectonics. Oceanic plates, being denser, plunge into the mantle at subduction zones, while hot material rises to the surface. This cycle ...

The fact that the cold, dry Mars of today had flowing rivers and lakes several billion years ago has puzzled scientists for decades. Now, Harvard researchers think they have a good explanation for ...

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 ...

Scientists uncover hidden land under Iceland, questioning our understanding of Earth's continents and tectonic plates.

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

Scientists from Utrecht University have discovered two enormous structures deep in Earth's mantle, suggesting that these ...

These ancient buried "super-continents"—known to scientists as large low-seismic-velocity provinces (LLSVPs)—were found lurking below Africa and the Pacific Ocean, entombed some 1,200 miles below the ...

Tesla has revealed a new-look Model Y meant for the Chinese and other Asian-Pacific markets, marking the first major update to the SUV since its launch in 2020. The redesign comes as Tesla ...
