Recent scientific discoveries reveal two extraordinary phenomena that could change our understanding of Earth's hydrology.

Stromatolites: You Can't Spell Mold Without Old One of the big problems with Kelvin's estimates for the age of the Earth was ...

The mantle of the Earth, up to 1,800 miles (2,900 kms) thick and 84% of the Earth's volume, was assumed to be a simple ...

With the help of complex computer models, it is possible to investigate the processes in the Earth's interior and understand their properties. The questions we are investigating in Münster are as ...

Like straight out of Julio Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, scientists from Northwestern University and the ...

Scientists have long been puzzled by volcanoes that erupt far from the edges of tectonic plates—known as intraplate volcanoes ...

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.

Tectonics is the study of the structural geology of the Earth and other planetary bodies, and the local and regional processes that created that rock geometry. This includes the movements of the ...

In recent years, research has focused on a possible correlation between the sun or moon and seismic activity on Earth, with some ... the pressure on tectonic plate boundaries.
