We know Aotearoa New Zealand is home to many geographically and biologically special features. Yet few of us know it also has ...
Far beneath the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,000 kilometers off Portugal’s coast, lies a colossal underwater canyon system that dwarfs even the Grand Canyon. Known as the King’s Trough Complex, this ...
About 56 million years ago, Europe and North America began pulling apart to form what became the ever-expanding North Atlantic Ocean. Vast amounts of molten rock from Earth's mantle reached the ocean ...
Contrary to expectations, ensconced within the young mountain range lie bits of a 1.8 billion-year-old supercontinent. G.S.
A study published in the Journal of African Earth Sciences sheds new light on the magnetic structure of the Afar region's crust and the process of the African continent's division.
Africa is slowly changing in front of our eyes, although we can’t see it directly. Scientists have discovered the continent is splitting in two parts, and ...
When tens of thousands of earthquakes shook Santorini, the cause wasn’t just shifting tectonic plates—it was rising magma. Scientists tracked about 300 million cubic meters of molten rock pushing up ...
Tiny zircon crystals are revealing that Earth’s earliest history may have included surprisingly complex tectonic activity.

Scientists confirm recent tectonic activity shaking the moon
Planetary scientists have produced the first global map of small mare ridges on the Moon, adding new evidence that the lunar surface has been reshaped in geologically recent times by tectonic forces ...
For most of deep time, spreading ridges released more carbon than volcano chains, changing how we interpret Earth’s climate history.
