Experts warn that "something" in the core of the Earth is causing the magnetic pole to shift. North Pole is shifting toward Siberia and raising concern ...
The Earth is made of different layers: the core, mantle and crust. Plate tectonic theory shows that the crust of the Earth is split into plates (pieces of the Earth’s crust). The movement of ...
Today, the upheavals of plate tectonics continually reshape Earth. When this began is much disputed - and we can’t fully understand how life began to thrive on our planet until we figure it out ...
A breakthrough study has provided the most detailed 3D look yet at the inner workings of the Tonga Subduction Zone, where ...
Long back, a large collection of material masses coalesced and formed the Earth – it was a single crust or plate with no ...
Led by Curtin University geologists Chris Kirkland and Tim Johnson, a research team unearthed this primeval crater beneath ...
New research reveals how rock strength plays a crucial role in erosion, shaping landscapes over millions of years.
Earth is also the only planet in our solar system known to have plate tectonics, or pieces of the crust that move around and smash into each other. Increasingly, scientists believe that plate ...
Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As ...
Earthquakes occur when the rock on one side of a fault slips relative to the other. The fault surface can be vertical, ...
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 ...
Incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may improve seismic forecasts - and potentially save thousands of lives, say scientists. Seismology has previously ...
