Tectonic map of the Philippine Sea Plate, highlighting the different microplates that formed as a result of oceanic spreading at different spreading centers. Present-day plate boundaries are red.

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world’s most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology ...

The researchers suspect that transform faults—boundaries where plates slide past one another, like the San Andreas Fault—may act as weak spots where slight changes in collision angle or speed ...

Dive into the world beneath your feet and discover what tectonic plates are, how they move, and why they're responsible for earthquakes, volcanoes, and the shifting of continents.

A tectonic plate is a massive slab of Earth’s outer shell, known as the lithosphere. These plates float on the asthenosphere, a softer, more flexible upper mantle layer. Earth’s lithosphere is ...

In a development that could reshape our understanding of tectonic movement, scientists have found massive fractures forming inside the Pacific Plate– the biggest tectonic plate on Earth. The ...
