Plate Tectonics. The Earth's plates jostle about in fits and starts that are punctuated with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. ... SCIENCE. Santorini is at the center of a mystery: ...

Due to the abundance of nitrogen and carbon dioxide present in Venus’ atmosphere, the team believes that Venus must have had plate tectonics about 4.5 billion to 3.5 billion years ago after the ...

And theoretical modeling shows it's possible for plate tectonics to exist in Hadean conditions, Jun Korenaga, a professor of Earth and planetary sciences at Yale University, told Live Science.

A Hadean start to plate tectonics is an intriguing idea, T. Mark Harrison, a professor emeritus of geoscience at UCLA, told Live Science, but the evidence is still fairly minimal.

Geologists from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a breakthrough in understanding how Earth's early continents ...

A plume of molten rock rising from the depths of the Earth in heartbeat-like pulses is slowly tearing Africa apart—and will ...

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 ...
