Relative plate motions and plate boundary geometries are from Cao et al. (2024), with plate motions placed in a mantle reference frame. Continents are light grey, with continental margins shown in ...
Iceland is known as ‘the land of fire and ice’ for a reason. Iceland’s volcanic activity is generally tame compared with explosive eruptions along the Pacific’s Ring of Fire. This time, it’s shaking ...
Image: Tiny crystals called zircons are used to date oceanic crust. A newly developed method that detects tiny bits of zircon in rock reliably predicts the age of ocean crust more than 99 percent of ...
Ocean scientists have discovered a number of mysterious holes in the seafloor that look human-made despite being located 2,540 meters (8,333 feet), or 1.6 mile underwater. The holes were discovered ...
