Dr Jordan Phethean, an author of the study, said: 'The discovery indicates that the North America and Eurasian tectonic plates have not yet actually broken apart, as is traditionally thought to have ...

In a new study, a team of researchers suggests that 4 billion years ago, plate tectonics likely looked closer to what we experience today than previously thought. The team published its findings in ...

Armed with advanced technology, decades of expertise, and insights from an NSF-funded study, a multi-institution team of ...

Geologists found evidence in the way enigmatic sandstones called Tava formed in the Rocky Mountains hundreds of millions of ...

Morocco-born Abdelatif Benazzi wants to be new man in charge of global rugby, promising to tear up the sport's old order and ...

But to find that complexity, we must take the lessons of the boring billion to heart. Planets are not just a stage on which ...

Geoscientists employed current-day stratigraphic, depositional and paleontological models, along with modern technological muscle to provide updated insights of the Cambrian period of the Grand Canyon ...

Emerging evidence suggests that plate tectonics, or the recycling of Earth's crust, may have begun much earlier than ...

Red P-plate drivers will be restricted to just one passenger in their car from December. The State Government is calling the new rules Tom's Law, after Tom Saffioti, 15, who was a passenger in a ...

Scientists believe shifting tectonic plates are leading to the creation of a new ocean, the world's sixth. The geological development results from two land masses slowly moving apart in Africa.

While many of Earth's changes may not seem noticeable to the naked eye, tectonic plates are constantly on the move. The Earth's lithosphere, which is formed by the crust and the upper part of the ...
