How moving tectonic plates and rising heat from deep within Earth created one of the ocean’s largest canyons. On land, giant canyons like the Grand Canyon are usually the slow handiwork of rivers that ...

A research group has revealed through seismic wave analysis that the oceanic plate beneath the Ontong Java Plateau—the ...

New seismic imaging shows magma lingering beneath quiet Cascade volcanoes, shaping how scientists monitor and plan for eruptions.

While previous research has proved that the ceramic waste/pozzolan combination can improve strength, predictive modeling and in-depth examination of the additives' ratio performance was lacking. The ...

A new seismic study reveals that Earth’s largest volcanic event fundamentally transformed the oceanic plate beneath the ...

Across large parts of northern Tanzania, gully erosion—soil erosion caused by flowing water—is cutting deep scars through fertile farmland, grazing areas, roads and even villages. These gullies grow ...

Scientists have shown that the building blocks of proteins can form naturally in deep space. This means the raw ingredients for life may exist long before planets are formed.

Inside an incredibly bright cluster of galaxies, a long-dormant supermassive black hole has come back to life. Radio images ...

Climate change is usually associated with changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, but our planet's surface also plays a major ...

It’s almost certainly as close as I’ll ever get to walking on the moon. Surrounded by giant sandstone-coloured volcanic rock formations, we could be on the set of "Star Wars" or "Planet Of The Apes." ...

The presence of deformation bands (DBs) associated with porous volcaniclastic rocks, it is ubiquitous but poorly described. In Trindade Island, the Paredão Volcano's lapilli tuffs are deposited during ...

About 290 miles off the coast of Cannon Beach, Oregon, lies an underwater volcano called Axial Volcano. Axial erupts about once every ten years. Twice in the past year, news outlets have reported that ...
