Mar. 17, 2021 Along submarine mountain ranges, the mid-ocean ridges, forces from the Earth's interior push tectonic plates apart, forming new ocean floor and thus moving continents about. However, many ...
Jan. 27, 2021 An upsurge of matter from deep beneath the Earth's crust could be pushing the continents of North and South America further apart from Europe and Africa, new research has ...
June 1, 2023 Underwater volcanism and its hydrothermal activity play an important role in marine biogeochemical cycles, especially the carbon cycle. But the nature of hydrothermal activity at ...
Dec. 14, 2021 The Andes Mountains are much taller than plate tectonic theories predict they should be, a fact that has puzzled geologists for decades. Mountain-building models tend to focus on the deep-seated ...
Apr. 14, 2022 A new global analysis of the last 19 million years of seafloor spreading rates found they have been slowing down. Geologists want to know why the seafloor is getting ...
July 18, 2022 Scientists discover off-axis, high-temperature deep-sea hydrothermal vents along a portion of the northern East Pacific Rise that are hotter and cover more area than any other hydrothermal vents ...
Mar. 24, 2021 The wrong type of earthquake in an area where there should not have been an earthquake led researchers to uncover the cause for this unexpected strike-slip earthquake -- where two pieces of crust ...
Aug. 3, 2021 Scientists studied microorganisms from an underwater mountain in the Atlantic Ocean, pioneering a method that could open new windows into our understanding of how life survives deep under the sea -- ...
Apr. 26, 2021 Researchers using a new method involving the mineral barite have dated the first emergence of continental crust to 500 million years earlier than previously ...
Mar. 22, 2021 A new type of rock created during large and exceptionally hot volcanic eruptions has been discovered beneath the Pacific ...
