Far beneath the ocean's surface, where mountain belts rise and ancient oceanic crust lies hidden, a long-lost tectonic plate ...

A 3.3-magnitude earthquake hit Northern California Monday evening near Los Banos, about 30 miles from San Jose. No damage ...

In a nutshell Scientists found that how fast continents pull apart affects how molten rock moves deep underground, ...

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world's most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology presents ...

Tectonic Jigsaw Figuring that out means first understanding how plate tectonics work. Earth was born 4.54 billion years ago in the pyres of the early solar system.

There, the tectonic plates moved at around 21 millimetres per year before two major earthquakes struck — one of magnitude 8.0 in 1934 and another of 7.8 in 2015.

This map shows results for the first round of ranked-choice voting in the Democratic primary. Mr. Mamdani was declared the winner after final round tallies were released on July 1. Note: Only ...

An and her colleagues created their "human belief map" by fine-tuning S-BERT (Sentence-BERT), a specialized model for generating high-quality sentence embeddings and measuring semantic similarity.

Scientists have detected deep pulses in the Earth beneath Africa – and it could tear the continent apart. The pulses are made up of molten mantle rock surging in rhythm, the researchers say. The ...

If true, this area—often known as a plume—would display clear effects on the tectonic plates above it. Rift zones typically stretch and pull tectonic plates until they eventually rupture.
