A recent study from the University of Southampton reveals how tectonic forces lead to the uplifting of stable continental ...

Recent satellite data reveal that the Konya Basin in the Central Anatolian Plateau of Türkiye is continually being reshaped ...

At that time, what is now Ireland was submerged under a shallow tropical sea. The marine environment was home to a wide ...

The Earth's crust is continually being reshaped below the Konya Basin in the Central Anatolian Plateau of Türkiye over millions of years, as per the analysis of recent satellite data carried out by ...

Researchers have identified a possible link between climate change and the frequency of earthquakes — and the quakes may also ...

Tectonic uplift is the geologic uplift of Earth's surface that is attributed to plate tectonics. While isostatic response is important, an increase in the mean elevation of a region can only occur in ...

Our results explain how vertical movements of continents can occur far from active tectonic plate boundaries, where most uplift is generally known to occur. The massive erosion that occurs during ...

This uplift followed the mantle waves for hundreds ... “These Archean fragments are still controlling aspects of plate tectonics,” Ebinger says. “That early stage in Earth’s history ...
