Recent geological studies have raised intriguing questions about the future of the Indian subcontinent. Researchers have discovered evidence suggesting that the Indian tectonic plate may be splitting ...

Initially a standalone continent, it was separated from the Eurasian landmass by the Tethys Ocean. The two plates then began sliding towards each other. As the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates ...

Beneath their majestic peaks, the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates engage in a slow-motion collision that began 60 million years ago. This geological clash not only created the mountains but ...

In his book The Mathematical Universe, mathematician William Dunham wrote of John Venn’s namesake legacy, the Venn diagram, “No one in the long history of mathematics ever became better known ...

Scientists analyzing seismic data from southern Tibet discovered that the Indian tectonic plate is fragmenting as it subducts beneath the Eurasian plate, reshaping our understanding of the forces ...

This flow is what drives the movement of tectonic plates on Earth’s surface, causing earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the shifting of continents. Heat from the Earth’s core causes convection ...

Mexico lies on five tectonic plates that make it one of the world's most earthquake-vulnerable countries, particularly on the Pacific coast. In 1985 an 8.1 magnitude quake centered on the Pacific ...
