New research from HKU geologists suggests that Earth's first continents were born not from plate tectonics, but from deep ...

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

This new research advances our understanding of suitable environments for natural hydrogen generation,” said Sascha Brune, ...

Typically, a mountain range will rise in places where two tectonic plates clash with each other. But East Antarctica has been tectonically stable for millions of years.

Have you ever imagined what Antarctica looks like beneath its thick blanket of ice? Hidden below are rugged mountains, valleys, hills and plains.

Scientists have uncovered one of the most exciting geological discoveries of the decade – the long-lost Pontus tectonic plate ...

This new discovery shows that the Indian tectonic plate is splitting deep beneath Tibet, not just sliding smoothly as once thought. It’s a big shift in how we understand the Himalayas and ...

In the tectonics of mountain building, such features develop when sediment piles up and rocks are scraped off from the subducting Indian plate, which get plastered onto the overriding Asian plate.

The world's highest mountain range - the Himalayas - is a testament to the power of plate tectonics. Forced upwards by the gradual northward push of the Indian plate into the Eurasian plate. It's ...

Using a state-of-the-art numerical plate tectonic modeling approach, calibrated with data from natural examples, the GFZ-led research team simulated the full plate tectonic evolution from initial ...

GFZ researchers identify where to expect natural and exploitable hydrogen resources using state-of-the-art simulations of plate tectonic processes The solution may be found in nature, since ...
