Geologists have made certain assumptions about how the crust making up our planet's earliest surface formed, but a new study ...

Even the oldest and most stable of lithospheric structures can’t withstand geologic machinations deep within the Earth.

Researchers have discovered cratonic thinning occurring beneath North America, driven by the remnants of the Farallon Plate.

Beneath the crust of North America, scientists have found that the deep roots of the continent are slowly dripping away in ...

But don't worry, the continent isn't about to collapse. These are incredibly slow geological processes, happening over ...

New research suggests that Earth's first crust, formed over 4.5 billion years ago, already carried the chemical traits we ...

Scientists have long thought that tectonic plates needed to dive beneath each other to create the chemical fingerprint we see ...

It can be inferred from the 'Reciprocal Tariffs' that the Trump administration means to end globalisation and replace it with ...

This week, researchers reported on nine rivers and lakes in the Americas that defy hydrologic expectations. Geologists report ...

Researchers have made a new discovery that changes our understanding of Earth's early geological history, challenging beliefs ...

Lithospheric dripping occurs when the underside of Earth's rocky crust is heated to a certain temperature. As the rock melts, ...

Despite its localised nature, the effects of this dripping are felt across a broad area of the North American craton, which spans much of the US and Canada.
