Scientists warn that the plate beneath Gibraltar arc will begin to shift toward the Atlantic within 20 million years.

New geological study shows Spain and Portugal are moving northward at 4-6mm annually as the Iberian Peninsula undergoes clockwise rotation towards the Eurasian tectonic plate ...

A study claims that Spain and Portugal are rotating clockwise and moving by anywhere between four and six millimetres each year ...

A huge crack is slowly opening across Africa, and scientists say it could one day create a brand-new ocean. Although this change will take millions of years, researchers are closely watching how the ...

For millions of years, the Earth has oscillated between ice ages and warmer episodes. The movements of the ground beneath our feet could play a much more important role in this cycle than previously ...

BANGKOK: Earthquakes in Surat Thani are caused by two active fault lines that are still moving—Ranong Fault and Klong Marui Fault. The Ranong Fault is the longest (270 km), while the Klong Marui Fault ...

New research reveals the source of this carbon – and the driving forces behind it – are far more complex than previously thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

It was a groundbreaking discovery. Scientists have found previously concealed fault lines along California’s north coast, sparking concerns that we could be drastically underestimating the earthquake ...

Carbon released from Earth's spreading tectonic plates, not volcanoes, may have triggered major transitions between ancient ice ages and warm climates, new research finds. Published in Communications ...

Earthquakes often feel sudden and unpredictable, but deep below the ground, slow and steady movements shape where strong shaking may happen. One of the most complex earthquake zones in the United ...

This piece is part of a special project on deep time examining what the Western U.S. was like thousands, millions and even billions of years ago, and how that history is still visible and ...

At the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest, one tectonic plate is moving underneath another. New experimental work at UC Davis shows how rocks on faults deep in the Earth can cement ...
