A study reveals that the oldest continental crust on Earth is slowly being broken up by shifting tectonic forces.

The chemical striping suggests the plume is pulsing, like a heartbeat.” That is how Professor Tom Gernon of the University of ...

The models further indicate the presence of high-density bodies within the lower crust at the continent—ocean transition that are continuous with the lowermost oceanic layer 3B in terms of geometry ...

The highest volcano in the world is Cerro Ojos del Salado. It is a stratovolcano in South America’s Central Volcanic Zone, reaching an impressive 6893 meters above sea level (or at least above ...

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 ...

The Earth’s crust is disappearing right beneath our feet – and most people don’t even realise it. Now, if you’re a geologist, ...

Under the continental crust, the Moho is from 12 to 56 miles (20 to 90 km) down. Under the ocean floor, it’s much shallower, just three to six miles (five to 10 km) down.

Houston’s National Weather Service office has lost its head meteorologist amid a federal requirement to cut 10% of NOAA’s staff.

Traditionally, density functional theory could not describe quasicrystals as they lack translational symmetry. An ab initio approach now establishes that the quasicrystalline structures of ScZn 7. ...

We proposed a new mathematical system model to analyze the average BER performance of UWOC with APD receiver in a wide range of oceanic turbulence for the first time. Clo... Show More Published in: ...
