Earthquakes have long been considered unpredictable, but a new study suggests that solar activity could play a role in ...

Solar heat may influence earthquakes and their timings by altering rock brittleness and underground water movement.

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of plates, which have moved throughout Earth's history. The theory explains the how and why behind mountains, volcanoes ...
