The deep oceans are far from flat. They feature ridges, trenches, seamounts, and valleys, creating a diverse and dramatic ...

For millions of years, Earth’s shifting plates have shaped continents, formed oceans, and built towering mountain ranges. But ...

Experts have been working on mapping the ocean floor with traditional methods, sending ships across the water with sonar ...

Scientists have worked for years to build systems to monitor volcanoes and earthquakes on the West Coast, but DOGE cuts may ...

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways ...

Plate tectonics describes the movement and interaction of tectonic plates on Earth's surface. This movement is driven by the very slow creeping motion of Earth's mantle, called convection ...

Our bodies are always moving, even when we don’t realize it. We churn through a solar system on a wobbly planet, stand upon ...

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

Pressure from a pool of magma has just cracked solid rock, creating a volcano-tectonic (VT) event. This type of quake produces relatively high-frequency shaking, usually between one and five ...

Earth’s surface is made up of different sections called tectonic plates. Most mountains are fold mountains, which means they’re created when two tectonic plates collide, and they force the ...

Created as a hub for Asian art, the fair is succeeding at drawing more galleries and works from India and other parts of Asia ...
