A team of scientists put together a global database of submarine mud volcanoes. Orders of magnitude more are still bubbling, ...

Computer simulations have revealed that a tidally locked exoplanet is capable of hosting tectonic activity on a large scale. Tectonic activity is considered to be one of the key processes that ...

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 ...

Earth and its "evil twin" Venus are very different today, with the latter lacking plate tectonics. New research indicates Venus may have been much more like our planet than we suspected.

Fierce gales and rain are expected to complicate efforts to monitor elevated tectonic activity under the Scandinavian nation.
