Does our Moon exhibit recent tectonic activity? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the potential for our Moon ...

In subduction zones, the sites of the world's largest earthquakes, tectonic activity may generate a "pump" that transports long-buried subseafloor microbes back toward the seafloor, according to ...

A research team led by Academician Jin Zhijun from the Institute of Energy, Peking University, has revealed how interactions between Earth's tectonic activity and astronomical cycles jointly shaped ...

Speleoseismology is an emerging discipline that exploits cave environments and their mineral deposits as natural recorders of seismic and tectonic processes. The sheltered conditions within karst ...

Researchers have uncovered more than a thousand previously unknown tectonic ridges across the Moon’s dark plains, showing the Moon is still contracting and reshaping itself. These features are among ...

Earth’s crust looks solid from the surface, but it is broken into a shifting mosaic of slabs that slowly rearrange oceans and continents. Understanding how those tectonic plates first formed is one of ...

"The features we found on Venus are strikingly similar to Earth's early continents." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. New research ...

The geomorphological expression of tectonic activity in the Karoun River Basin, a tectonically active region within the Zagros Mountains of Iran, was investigated. The basin’s complex geological ...

Planetary scientists have produced the first global map of small mare ridges on the Moon, adding new evidence that the lunar surface has been reshaped in geologically recent times by tectonic forces ...

A Brown University study provides new evidence that the icy shell of Jupiter’s moon Europa may have plate tectonics similar to those on Earth. The presence of plate tectonic activity could have ...
