Scientists have discovered a long hidden plate boundary near the east coast of Africa that dates back about 180 million years.

Researchers used small zircon crystals to unlock information about magmas and plate tectonic activity in early Earth. The research provides chemical evidence that plate tectonics was most likely ...

Isotope analysis of gas from geothermal springs in Zambia could show that a new continental rift is forming, scientists say.

If this continues to develop, this rift could grow into a new tectonic plate boundary—splitting the African continent in half ...

Scientists say they have evidence of a new continental rift forming in southern Africa that could eventually develop into a ...

Earth's surface is broken up into large plates that rub against each other, causing earthquakes, volcanoes and large mountain ranges. But how unique is our planet's geology? When you purchase through ...

Scientists may have discovered the world's oldest arc-slicing fault in Northwestern Australia's remote deserts. The finding demonstrates that plate tectonic processes were operational at least 3 ...

The King's Trough Complex is a several-hundred-kilometer-long, canyon-like system of trenches on the North Atlantic seafloor. Its formation was long thought to be the result of simple stretching of ...

Plate tectonics is a highly complex phenomenon that underpins almost every geological process and our understanding of Earth. Increasingly sophisticated computers and statistical approaches, including ...
