For millions of years, as the Arabian and Eurasian continental plates have drifted toward each other, the underground ancient ...
Most geologic activity stems from the interplay where the plates meet or divide. The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries ... of years from now eastern Africa will ...
A research team is investigating the influence of the Zagros Mountains on the bending of Earth's surface. A team of ...
The model displayed remnants of submerged plates located under oceans and in the middle of continents, which—according to our current understanding of the plate tectonic cycle—are all too far from any ...
The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants ...
As two of Earth's great tectonic plates slowly crash together, the Mediterranean Sea is likely to be wiped off the face of ...
Case studies include both rifting on land, in east Africa and Iceland ... is turning itself inside out through the process of plate tectonics. Advances in technology are helping to reveal the ...
