Around the Balkan Peninsula, the African plate is sinking beneath the European plate. A piece of deeply submerged African crust resurfaced 40 million years ago far away from the sinking zone. How this ...
A study published in the Journal of African Earth Sciences sheds new light on the magnetic structure of the Afar region's crust and the process of the African continent's division.
For years, scientists have known about lobate scarps — ridges commonly found in the lunar highlands that formed as the Moon contracted. In 2010, earlier research confirmed that the Moon is gradually ...
Researchers have uncovered more than a thousand previously unknown tectonic ridges across the Moon’s dark plains, showing the ...
About 56 million years ago, Europe and North America began pulling apart to form what became the ever-expanding North Atlantic Ocean. Vast amounts of molten rock from Earth's mantle reached the ocean ...
New research reveals the source of this carbon – and the driving forces behind it – are far more complex than previously ...

Earth's ocean floor is not just steadily pulling apart; new research reveals rapid, dynamic cracking along mid-ocean ridges.
Tiny zircon crystals are revealing that Earth’s earliest history may have included surprisingly complex tectonic activity.
For most of deep time, spreading ridges released more carbon than volcano chains, changing how we interpret Earth’s climate history.
