With a computer rendering, he helped scientists understand that the earth, with its shifting tectonic plates, is “an ...

Watch the Earth's tectonic plates grow, shrink, and jostle for position in this new model of the last billion years on the ...

This model brought the drips into view for the first time in this way. It also helped the researchers deduce that the Farallon Plate, an oceanic tectonic plate that has been subducting under North ...

Scientists have long thought that tectonic plates needed to dive beneath each other to create the chemical fingerprint we see in continents.

The North American continent is "dripping" rock into the lower layers of the Earth, new research says, and in the process ...

Beneath the crust of North America, scientists have found that the deep roots of the continent are slowly dripping away in blobs of rock.

Peter R. Orszag, the C.E.O. of Lazard, discusses how markets are reacting to the uncertainty of Trump’s tariffs.

Where one tectonic plate is pushed down by another ... and this made it possible to evaluate our model," explains the researcher. His team published their results in the journal Scientific ...

The deep roots of Earth's oldest continents have long been thought to be unshakable. But a new seismic discovery suggests that even these stable landmasses can change. Beneath the center of North ...

Even the oldest and most stable of lithospheric structures can’t withstand geologic machinations deep within the Earth.
