Did you know that continents are still moving and that in a few hundred million years, Earth will look very different?

The plates fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces far beneath our feet. Tectonic plates move - usually very slowly - and this broke Pangaea up into separate parts, eventually creating the ...

From the deepest ocean trench to the tallest mountain, plate tectonics explains the features and movement of Earth's surface in the present and the past. The theory of plate tectonics was ...

Using information from inside the rocks on Earth's surface, we have reconstructed the plate tectonics of the planet over the last 1.8 billion years. It is the first time Earth's geological record ...

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

Scientists refer to these pieces as plates. The plates move relative to each other. This is called plate tectonics. Tell them they will learn about the three different kinds of plate motion in ...

Landslides cause more than a billion dollars in damage in the United States each year, according to the American Geoscience ...

All of these processes result from plate tectonics, the movement of enormous chunks of Earth's crust. This movement may be why life exists here. Earth is the only known planet with plate tectonics ...

A volcano in Iceland has emerged from its centuries-long slumber with a series of "spectacular" eruptions. The most recent ...
