The outermost layer of Earth, the lithosphere, is composed of solid rock and is broken into large sections called tectonic plates. These plates fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
