A groundbreaking study has provided new insights into the forces that cause tectonic movements in Europe’s most seismically active regions. Researchers used advanced satellite data to track land ...
New research challenges conventional wisdom by demonstrating that mid-ocean ridges and continental rifts, not volcanic ...
Our planet has an outer layer made up of several plates, which move relative to one another. While we may take this knowledge for granted, this theory of plate tectonics was only formulated in the ...
Researchers have discovered a pattern where diamonds explode from deep beneath the Earth’s surface in huge, volcanic “fountains.” Diamonds form approximately 90 miles deep in the Earth’s crust and are ...
Earthquakes themselves affect the movement of Earth's tectonic plates, which in turn could impact on future earthquakes, according to new research from the University of Copenhagen. This new knowledge ...
The Iberian Peninsula sits where Europe and Africa lean into each other, a place long known for pressure and friction in the ...
No audio available for this content. It’s the beginning of 2022 and the new, modernized NSRS is only about three years away. Hopefully, everyone has been reading NGS’s blueprint documents updated ...
Cause of Earthquakes: Earthquakes happen due to the sudden movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth’s crust. When stress builds up along plate boundaries or fault lines and the rocks can no ...
The tectonic plates under Africa and Asia are slowly drifting apart, as the Gulf of Suez that separates these two land masses continues to widen at a rate of about 0.26–0.55 millimeters per year. In a ...
