Melting glaciers 10,000 years ago sped up continental drift and volcanic activity, a process that could repeat as modern ice ...

Oceanic transform faults have historically been thought of as simple, predictable features. They represent the least well-studied of the three major plate boundaries, which include divergent ...

Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), located far from subduction ... By integrating seismic tomography and plate reconstructions, the researchers linked these geochemical signatures to the subduction ...

Scientists believe that the motion of Earth's continents through plate tectonics has been largely steady over millions of ...
