Our new research published in Nature shows how tectonic plates, volcanoes, eroding mountains, and seabed sediment have controlled Earth’s climate in the geological past. Harnessing these processes may ...

A false-color satellite photo from 2023 shows a devilish pair of lava flows and an enormous plume of smoke spewing from Klyuchevskoy, the tallest volcano in Europe and Asia.

A team of scientists put together a global database of submarine mud volcanoes. Orders of magnitude more are still bubbling, ...

And even if researchers can prove that the Cambrian explosion happened just (geologically speaking) after plate tectonics restarted with a bang, the timing might still have been mere coincidence.

Plate tectonics reveals how Earth’s surface is constantly in motion, and how its features — volcanoes, earthquakes, ocean basins and mountains — are intrinsically linked to its hot interior.

A volcano erupted in Japan on Wednesday, ... Ash falls from the 1,592-meter (5,222-foot) mountain in the prefecture of Kumamoto are expected to shower nearby towns until late afternoon, ...

Plate tectonics drives earthquakes and volcanoes, creates mountain ranges and islands, and is the reason Earth's continents, once a supercontinent, are now oceans apart.But there's still much ...
