Geodynamics Modeling; Large Igneous Provinces and Global Climate Perturbations; Tectonics and Magmatism at Large Igneous Provinces and Divergent Plate Boundaries I have intrinsic motivation in ...

The mid-ocean ridges mark the lines along which the Earth is turning itself inside out through the process of plate tectonics. Advances in technology are helping to reveal the intricate details of ...

Four types of plate tectonic activity are demonstrated in this feature. Keep an eye on the map to see where in the world the activity takes place. Also known as spreading boundary, a divergent ...

The world's highest mountain range - the Himalayas - is a testament to the power of plate tectonics. Forced upwards by the gradual northward push of the Indian plate into the Eurasian plate.

Researchers say they have found "unequivocal evidence" that a meteorite smashed into Earth 3.47 billion years ago, potentially affecting plate tectonics and creating conditions for life.
