Eruptions from volcanic arcs, found where tectonic plates converge, are one of the major drivers of natural carbon emissions, ...

We often affiliate plate tectonics with earthquakes, as we are all taught in school that the shifting of plates leads to big shakes. But plate tectonics serve a far more important job to the planet ...

Ancient plate tectonics in the Archean period differs from modern plate tectonics in the Phanerozoic period because of the higher mantle temperatures inside the early Earth, the thicker basaltic crust ...

Our planet has experienced dramatic climate shifts throughout its history, oscillating between freezing "icehouse" periods and warm "greenhouse" states.

This study is led by Prof. Yong-Fei Zheng at University of Science and Technology of China. It focuses on the development of tectonic processes along convergent plate margins through inspection of ...

SIOUX CITY (KTIV) - Gather your supplies! In this episode we will use everyday materials to learn about tectonic plates and fault lines. A subduction fault is when two plates have different densities.
