A major California fault once thought to be stable is quietly shifting beneath neighborhoods, schools, and it could lead to a ...

There are several fault lines lies near Delhi, which includes the prominent Mahendragarh-Dehradun Fault (MDF) and the Delhi-Hardwar Ridge Fault. Movements along these faults cause seismic events ...

Delhi-NCR was jolted by a 4.4-magnitude earthquake on Thursday morning, with the epicentre located in Haryana’s Jhajjar ...

The Concord Fault, which runs through Bay Area neighborhoods in Concord and Walnut Creek is in a different location than previously understood. It could produce a major earthquake in the Bay Area.

The most important tectonic features are the NW-SE strike faults parallel to the extension of the Red Sea, Gulf of Suez rift, Aqaba fault trend, Najd faults system, NE-SW, and E-W (Tethyan trend) that ...

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 ...

Map of the Pangea-Tethys and Panthalassa plate tectonic realms separated by the Juction Region. Present-day plate boundaries are red (modified from Bird, 2003), relevant former plate boundaries ...

The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants ...
