Continents drift apart in slow, powerful motions that reshape the world above and below your feet. A new study now shows that ...

Underwater volcanoes are powerful geological forces shaping our planet and oceans. These hidden giants form through tectonic ...

Researchers discovered that continents don’t just split at the surface—they also peel from below, feeding volcanic activity in the oceans. Simulations reveal that slow mantle waves strip continental ...

The Earth's mantle might not always move along in lockstep with the overlying tectonic crust—as set out in science textbooks for decades—but may instead behave differently. This is the conclusion of ...

Gold and other precious metals are leaking from Earth’s core into the layers above, eventually making their way up to the surface during the formation of volcanic islands like Hawaii, a new study ...
