The knowledge of how Earth recycled its crust revealed that fragments of continents slowly peeled away and swept deep beneath ...

These continental fragments are then swept sideways into the oceanic mantle, sometimes travelling over 1,000 km. Once in the ...

Once inside the oceanic mantle, bits of continents become part of the magma factory that powers ocean volcanoes.

Scientists have uncovered a hidden geological process where fragments of continents are slowly stripped from below and swept deep into the oceanic mantle, sparking volcanic activity in unexpected ...

Researchers discovered that continents don’t just split at the surface—they also peel from below, feeding volcanic activity in the oceans. Simulations reveal that slow mantle waves strip continental ...

Detached continental material travels into oceanic mantle, sustaining eruptions for tens of millions of years, researchers ...

Earth scientists have discovered how continents are slowly peeled from beneath, fueling volcanic activity in an unexpected ...

Millions of years from now, Northern Africa could be home to a new ocean as tectonic plates pull apart along the East African Rift System, scientists say. Experts have long known that portions of the ...

This map shows the thickness of the crust around the Mauritius and Reunion Island region. The circled numbers note how many millions of years ago the mantle plume there was beneath or near the Indian ...

Hidden beneath the brilliant blue waters of the Indian Ocean lies a secret, scientists say: an entire micro-continent that detached itself some 60 million years ago. And they found it through a few ...

Atlas Ocean Voyages has announced its deployment for the 2027-28 Antarctica season aboard the World Traveler and World ...
