Scientists have developed a new model of Earth’s tectonic plates that provides fresh insights into the planet’s geological history and a better understanding of natural hazards like ...

Scientists have produced a new map of Earth's tectonic plates that shows the continents organized like the first supercontinent, Vaalbara, which broke up about 2.8 million years ago. The team, led ...

U.S. scientists say they've created a model precisely describing the movements of the 25 tectonic plates that account for about 97 percent of Earth's surface.

The new models have revealed that ancient events may have left deep 'scars' that can trigger changes at the surface – including the folding, breaking, or flowing of the crust in tectonic plates.

Precise model of tectonic-plate movements developed from 20-year study Date: March 23, 2010 Source: Rice University Summary: When it comes to 3-D puzzles, Rubik's Cube pales in comparison with the ...

A new study presents a novel way for tectonic plates — massive sheets of rock that jostle for position in the Earth’s crust and upper mantle — to bend and sink.

Discriminating among tectonic settings by the chemical composition of igneous rocks is a feasible method in geochemistry. In this study, the feasibility of using gabbroic rocks to discriminate among ...
