Recent data from the Earthquake Observation Division show that fault lines in areas surrounding Thailand remain active, with three key zones requiring close monitoring: ...

The idea that extreme climate change could one day cause a mass extinction and end the human dominance is not as farfetched ...

Long before Mars turned into the frozen desert you see today, water shaped its surface in dramatic ways. Rivers cut through ...

The formation of a sixth ocean, and the tectonic shifts that lie ahead, are proof that Earth is a dynamic, ever-evolving ...

Scientists are observing a new ocean forming in Africa's Afar region, a unique geological hotspot. Early magnetic surveys from 1968, combined with rec ...

The Afar region in northeastern Africa could split over millions of years, forming a new ocean. Scientists monitor rifts, magma and tectonic activity closely.

According to the team, the ongoing separation is progressing from the northeast to the south in a motion scientists liken to “the zip on a jacket,” tearing through the continent alongside intense ...

An international team has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the tectonic evolution of terrestrial planets. Using advanced numerical models, the team systematically classified for the ...

On Friday, 21 November, the nation woke up to a powerful 5.7-magnitude earthquake that shook the entire country. But the trauma did not end there. Barely 32 hours later, three more mild ...

At the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest, one tectonic plate is moving underneath another. New experimental work at UC Davis shows how rocks on faults deep in the Earth can cement ...

The tectonic plates are among the most powerful forces on Earth, exerting tremendous influence over every single life that unfolds on this planet. They are both creators and destroyers, capable of ...
