Using information from inside the rocks on Earth's surface, we have reconstructed the plate tectonics of the planet ... which you can see in the animation below. The work, led by Xianzhi Cao ...

Researchers in China and Australia have created an animation that details Earth's tectonic movements over the past 1.8 ...

Scotese studies how plate tectonics and a warming climate will change Earth's appearance in the future, and he has made multiple animated maps based from his research. For more animations from ...

Earth surface is covered with rigid plates that move, crash into each other and dive into the planet's interior. But when did ...

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of plates, which have moved throughout Earth's history. The theory explains the how and why behind mountains, volcanoes ...

The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely responsible for the volcanoes ... The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another ...

Emerging evidence suggests that plate tectonics, or the recycling of Earth's crust, may have begun much earlier than ...

Quantum mechanics? Something to do with genetics, perhaps? One discovery that ought to be on everyone's rundown is plate tectonics - the description of how the rigid outer shell of our planet (its ...
