New research from HKU geologists suggests that Earth's first continents were born not from plate tectonics, but from deep ...

Tectonic plates are massive slabs of Earth's lithosphere that float atop the semi-fluid mantle, constantly shifting and ...

A new study does the difficult task of trying to piece together the history of the world’s largest subduction zone.

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 ...
