These fossils date from the Miocene epoch ... It turns out, it all comes down to plate tectonics. Seahorses are pretty unique-looking fish, I'll give you that, with their upright posture ...

However, the links between tropical reef availability, plate tectonic processes and marine ... towards the Indo-Australian Archipelago in the Miocene. A mechanistic model based only on habitat ...

The Miocene is even named using the Greek words ... Continents were arranged quite similarly to their configuration today, while plate tectonics pushed the Andes up from the Earth, and the ...

Initially formed as a fore-arc basin during orogenic events between the Late Cretaceous and Miocene epochs ... involves ...

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways ...

Emerging evidence suggests that plate tectonics, or the recycling of Earth's crust, may have begun much earlier than previously thought — and may be a big reason that our planet harbors life.

A reappraisal of decades-old data suggests that strange circular formations on Venus could be volcanic “rings of fire” ...

If plate tectonics, oceans and continents are rare on worlds throughout the universe, that is. Alien life capable of communicating across interstellar space might not be able to evolve if its home ...

Tectonic plates are the gradual drift of continents across the Earth's surface that causes earthquake and volcanoes to erupt. By reverting back millions of years ago, scientist are able to include ...

Plate tectonics give rise to Earth's mountain ranges, earthquakes and the long-term movement of continents, and may even have provided the right conditions for life on Earth. But as far as we know ...

Computer simulations suggest that a collision with another planetary object early in Earth’s history may have provided the heat to set off plate tectonics. By Lucas Joel Some 4.5 billion years ...
