A subduction zone breaking apart was caught in real time, showing how Earth’s tectonic plates die, detach, and reshape the ...

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

The Earth’s crust is disappearing right beneath our feet – and most people don’t even realise it. Now, if you’re a geologist, or got a keen interest in how the Earth is put together, then this ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Science Advances (2025), scientists uncovered a fascinating and unusual process ...

With unprecedented clarity, scientists have directly observed a subduction zone—the collision point where one tectonic plate ...

The findings suggest Earth’s geological story was partly written in the stars – specifically, in the spiral arms of our home galaxy.

Concentrated hydrogen in the galaxy’s spiral arms can be locked away in zircon crystals, providing startling clues about the ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s ...
