If the theory is proven correct, the consequences could be enormous, spelling a much more risky, explosive future.

Earthquakes and volcanism occur as a result of plate tectonics. The movement of tectonic plates themselves is largely driven by the process known as subduction. The question of how new active ...

A volcano that has been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years could be gearing up for a massive explosion, according to new research. Scientists have measured signs of unrest at the Taftan ...

In a mountainous region near the Iran–Pakistan border, satellite instruments have recorded a series of subtle changes in the ...

Along 1,100 kilometers, from Mexico to Costa Rica, lies the Central American volcanic arc, where the variety of magma types make for a geological paradise. By Pablo Fonseca Q. / Knowable Magazine ...

Did you know the Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped zone around the Pacific Ocean, has about 750 to 915 active or dormant ...

Amid Earth’s mobile tectonic plates, subduction zones arise as regions of intense geological activity. These zones create processes that concentrate minerals into ore deposits. High-temperature, water ...

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Haijiang from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in collaboration with Dr. Robert Myhill from the University of Bristol, utilized tele-seismic ...

Researchers recently discovered a huge chain of extinct volcanoes buried deep below South China that formed when two tectonic plates collided during the breakup of Rodinia, around 800 million years ...
