For millions of years, Earth’s shifting plates have shaped continents, formed oceans, and built towering mountain ranges. But ...

"The main takeaway is that the subduction zone plate boundary contains much more foliated, damaged rocks than what we thought about before at this kilometer scale, which is relevant to earthquake ...

This study, published in Earth and Planetary Physics, explores the subduction thermal state, slab metamorphism, and seismic ...

Aside from the danger they pose, such earthquakes disrupt the slow, long-term changes occurring at subduction zones. The cycle of sudden earthquakes and slow plate movement makes it difficult for ...

Non-volcanic tremor ramp up precedes slow slip in Cascadia by about a day, indicating that brittle-creeping process ...

Scientists have long been puzzled by volcanoes that erupt far from the edges of tectonic plates—known as intraplate volcanoes ...
