Amid Earth’s mobile tectonic plates, subduction zones arise as regions of intense geological activity and concentrate minerals into ore deposits like gold.

Their findings were published in the journal of Scientific Reports on 3 December, 2024. Ridge subduction is an important geological process that triggers volcanic activity, thermal metamorphism (the ...

There's often little warning when a tsunami strikes, but a research team at USF aims to improve the forecasting of these hazardous events for communities that are most at risk.

Deep within Earth’s mantle lie two enormous regions, often referred to as "islands," which are the size of continents.

Dating key tectonic events in Japan's geological history has long been often challenging due to poor microfossil preservation from intense heat due to metamorphism. Researchers tackled this by using ...

Deep beneath Earth’s surface, two massive structures—dubbed low-shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs)—are reshaping scientists’ ...

Over 25 years ago, researchers discovered that some of these deep Earth reverberations pointed to the existence of two ...
