Scientists warn that the plate beneath Gibraltar arc will begin to shift toward the Atlantic within 20 million years.

A study published in the journal Tectonics has provided new insights into the forces that cause tectonic movements in Europe's most seismically active regions. Researchers used advanced satellite data ...

A team of researchers including Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego geophysicist Dave Stegman has developed a new theory to explain the global motions of tectonic plates on the earth's ...

A massive 37-million-year-old underwater canyon reveals the fossil trace of an ancient Atlantic tectonic boundary.

Earth is a dynamic and constantly changing planet. From the formation of mountains and oceans to the eruption of volcanoes, the surface of our planet is in a constant state of flux. At the heart of ...

We often affiliate plate tectonics with earthquakes, as we are all taught in school that the shifting of plates leads to big shakes. But plate tectonics serve a far more important job to the planet ...

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 ...
