Researchers simulated temperature trends and tectonic plate movement to monitor their impact on mammals. Supercomputer simulation shows that climate extremes are likely to drive land mammal extinction ...
Venus and Earth are similar in size and mass, but took strikingly different evolutionary paths. After all, Earth is – at present – an oasis for life. And Venus, the planet next door, is a boiling ...
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 ...
The dance of the continents has been reshaping Earth for billions of years, creating the landscapes we walk on today. Scientists are unlocking secrets about how plate tectonics forged our modern world ...

Earth’s crust looks solid from the surface, but it is broken into a shifting mosaic of slabs that slowly rearrange oceans and continents. Understanding how those tectonic plates first formed is one of ...
Live earthquake data investigation using real USGS events, plate boundaries and depth to uncover global tectonic patterns. Students use the free Earthquake Now interactive from Dig Earth Studio to ...
