But, in light of the ever-evolving and dynamic interplay between Earth's tectonic plates, it is clear that this subduction boundary will not last forever.

These ancient buried "super-continents"—known to scientists as large low-seismic-velocity provinces (LLSVPs)—were found ...

Long-lost remnants of tectonic plates have been discovered ... another as they converge at a plate boundary—anywhere near this region. A computer model visualization of material in the lower ...

Geophysicists find areas that resemble the results of tectonic plate collisions — far from any area of such activity.

Scientists analyzing seismic data from southern Tibet discovered that the Indian tectonic plate is fragmenting as it subducts ...

Deeply hidden in Earth’s mantle there are two huge ‘islands’ with the size of a continent. New research from Utrecht ...

Rocks once buried deep in ancient subduction zones—where tectonic plates ... the plate boundary and the amount of strain built up is well studied there, and the results of their model match ...

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 ...

The new model was pieced together by a ... A detailed 3D understanding of the boundaries and interactions between tectonic plates will not only enhance our comprehension of how Earth's surface ...
