Amit Sharma “To understand the Himalayas is to understand the pulse of the Earth itself” a famous quote by the Indian ...

But there are several more. Tonga Trench ranks as the second deepest ocean trench, located in the southwest Pacific at the northern end of the Kermadec Tonga Subduction Zone. It lies at a depth of ...

Deep beneath Earth’s surface, researchers have discovered an ancient seafloor buried for millions of years. This unexpected ...

Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.

Not all mountains in the Yellowstone region are volcanic in origin. The Wind River Range, southeast of Yellowstone National Park, is an excellent example of an ancient pile of rocks ...

Subduction zone earthquakes: This earthquake results from the tension of an oceanic plate slipping beneath a continental plate. When enough stress builds, the fault will rupture, releasing a ...

The Pacific LLVP is younger and enriched with oceanic crust due to its location near active subduction zones, while the African LLVP is older and more diffuse. These deep structures could influence ...

One common hypothesis is that the LLVPs are made up of oceanic crust that was pushed into the mantle at subduction zones. This crustal material was then stirred through the mantle over millions of ...
