Recent findings have unveiled a startling reality: the Earth’s crust is showing signs of significant instability. From the ...

The study of landforms and their evolution provides key insights into the geomorphic responses of continental surfaces to ...

The break up of the supercontinent Nuna transformed the Earth’s surface, creating shallow marine habitats that may have given rise to eukaryotic life.

Strong and weak rocks transform the landscape through erosion, and a new study reveals that soil resistance alters this erosion by up to 20x.

Lake Turkana in northern Kenya is often called the cradle of humankind. Home to some of the earliest hominids, its fossil-rich basin has helped scientists piece together the story of human evolution.

Scientists have uncovered a hidden geological process where fragments of continents are slowly stripped from below and swept deep into the oceanic mantle, sparking volcanic activity in unexpected ...

A new study reveals how continents are slowly peeling away, fuelling underwater volcanoes. Discover the "mantle wave" mechanism changing our view of Earth.
