Long back, a large collection of material masses coalesced and formed the Earth – it was a single crust or plate with no ...

The transient creep at high temperatures is described by the Andrade rheological model. Since plate tectonics allows only small deformations in lithospheric plates, creep of the lithosphere plates is ...

Discover the science behind Hawaii's gradual shift towards Japan, why it's happening, and how fast these changes are taking ...

Earthquakes occur when the rock on one side of a fault slips relative to the other. The fault surface can be vertical, ...

This includes the movements of the Earth’s tectonic plates that result in the creation, destruction and rearrangement of the Earth’s crust and lithosphere. An early Holocene sea-level curve ...

An ocean may in time develop from a rift in the Afar Triangle, in the Horn of Africa which will be close to America.

This study out of the University of Houston points to a new theory that as North America began to split away, the Great Lakes ...

The Earth is made of different layers: the core, mantle and crust. Plate tectonic theory shows that the crust of the Earth is split into plates (pieces of the Earth’s crust). The movement of ...

At the confluence of multiple tectonic plates, on the Pacific Ring of Fire, sits the West Coast of the United States, where ...
