Our planet has experienced dramatic climate shifts throughout its history, oscillating between freezing "icehouse" periods ...

Learn about the movement of tectonic plates off the coast of northern California, a process that could incite major ...

Climate causes the earth to move. An international team of researchers discovered that more rainfall in India made the Indian tectonic plate speed up by factor of 20 percent. “The significance of this ...

We won’t feel it in our lifetime ...

Research tracks deep carbon cycle over 540 million years, links icehouse and greenhouse phases to movement of tectonic plates ...

New research highlights the complex relationship between Earth's tectonic plate movements and climate shifts. Contrary to ...

According to plate tectonic theory, the Earth’s surface is made up of slabs of rock that are slowly shifting right under our feet. Because of this constant movement, today’s Earth looks a lot ...

A small amount of molten rock located under tectonic plates encourages them to move. This is what scientists have recently discovered. Their new model takes into account not only the velocity of ...

A study published in the journal Tectonics has provided new insights into the forces that cause tectonic movements in Europe's most seismically active regions. Researchers used advanced satellite data ...

Yale-led research may have solved one of the biggest mysteries in geology — namely, why do tectonic plates beneath the Earth’s surface, which normally shift over the course of tens to hundreds of ...
