Lavas from hotspots—whether erupting in Hawaii, Samoa or Iceland—likely originate from a worldwide, uniform reservoir in Earth's mantle, according to ...

Scientists at the University of Southampton have unlocked one of the most puzzling questions in plate tectonics revealing how and why ‘stable’ parts of continents gradually rise to form some of the ...

A new study has condensed 1.8 billion years of Earth’s tectonic plate movements into a mesmerizing two-minute video. Led by Dr. Xianzhi Cao of the Ocean University of China, this animation provides a ...

Geodynamics refers to the processes by which mantle convection shapes and reshapes the Earth and other rocky planets. Its study includes plate tectonics, volcanism, the chemistry of lava and ...

Jacobs, who led the study. “In their geological and plate tectonic contexts, they were also similar. In terms of their shapes, they are almost identical.” Because of these matching ...

"We determined that in terms of age, these footprints were similar," said SMU paleontologist Louis L. Jacobs, who led the study. "In their geological and plate tectonic contexts, they were also ...

Around 200 million years ago Pangea began to break up into smaller chunks because of the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are large slabs which lie beneath the Earth's ...
