1. The accidental discovery of X in 1964 — even though its existence had been predicted in 1948 — set off a series of ...

This study, published in Earth and Planetary Physics, explores the subduction thermal state, slab metamorphism, and seismic ...

Earth’s surface is constantly shifting, shaped by the slow but powerful movement of tectonic plates. While some plates have persisted for hundreds of millions of years, others have vanished, sinking ...

The PCSO said they recently acquired 73 mobile Automated License Plate Recognition systems and installed them in every marked patrol vehicle. The system can read up to three lanes of view in both ...

A global reanalysis of both short- and long-term deformation clarifies how obliquity affects strain partitioning in convergent plate boundaries.

The West Kunlun orogenic belt located in the northwestern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is an important record of the formation and northward extension of the plateau, but the current research ...

Scientists believe they’ve found a window into the dawn of time on Earth, and it’s hidden beneath the Pacific Ocean. A team ...

It has vast water oceans and abundant life. But Earth is also unique because it is the only planet with plate tectonics, which shaped its geology, climate and possibly influenced the evolution of ...
