At the boundaries where Earth’s tectonic plates converge, we get chains of volcanoes known as volcanic arcs. Melting associated with these volcanoes unlocks carbon that’s been trapped inside rocks for ...
New research challenges conventional wisdom by demonstrating that mid-ocean ridges and continental rifts, not volcanic ...
MELBOURNE, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- Carbon released from Earth's spreading tectonic plates, not volcanic eruptions, may have triggered major climate transitions between ancient ice ages and warm periods, ...
Research tracks deep carbon cycle over 540 million years, links icehouse and greenhouse phases to movement of tectonic plates ...
Eruptions from volcanic arcs, found where tectonic plates converge, are one of the major drivers of natural carbon emissions, ...
Chaos in Iran could create an American chokehold on the energy that China’s industry — and military — needs to operate.
Tectonic plates are constantly in motion — shaping continents, forming mountains, and triggering earthquakes. But what if their movement suddenly accelerated? This video examines how faster plate ...
