Scientists warn that the plate beneath Gibraltar arc will begin to shift toward the Atlantic within 20 million years.

In 2021, geologists animated a video that shows how Earth's tectonic plates moved over the last billion years. The plates move together and apart at the speed of fingernail growth, and the video ...

Far beneath the ocean's surface, where mountain belts rise and ancient oceanic crust lies hidden, a long-lost tectonic plate has been brought back into view. In one of Earth's most tectonically ...

Plate boundaries are where the action is. A large fraction of all earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building occurs at plate boundaries. It is also where most of the people on Earth live.

Far beneath the South Pacific, a continent the size of India has finally stepped out of the cartographic shadows. After centuries of speculation and decades of targeted surveys, scientists have now ...

A high-resolution map of Mars's entire magnetic field provides new evidence that Earth-like plate tectonics - great crustal plates pulling apart and crashing together - underpin the red planet's ...

New research reveals the Indian tectonic plate beneath the Himalayas is not a solid slab but is warping and tearing. This internal breaking and delamination, particularly in the eastern Himalayas, ...

This is a tectonic map of northwestern South America and Panama showing plate boundaries and neotectonic fault systems and selective distribution of hypocentral solutions of ~30,000 earthquakes ...
