Climate change and asteroids are linked with animal origin and extinction -- and plate tectonics also seems to play a key evolutionary role, 'groundbreaking' new fossil research reveals. The discovery ...

Deep inside what we perceive as solid matter, the landscape is anything but stationary. The interior of the building blocks of the atom's nucleus -- particles called hadrons that most of us would ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications, scientists led by Flinders University and experts from Canada, Australia, ...

The Earth doesn’t have seven continents after all. From a young age, we're taught that the world consists of Africa, ...

Today, the living coelacanth Latimeria (Sarcopterygii: Actinistia) is an iconic, so-called ‘living fossil’ within one of the ...

In one of the most complete models ever put together, a new study has condensed 1.8 billion years of plate tectonics into a 2-minute video clip.

The video reconstructs Earth’s surface evolution, presented as a relative plate motion model and it's stunning.

A GROUNDBREAKING new model shows how present-day countries formed as land rearranged itself nearly 2 billion years ago. The scientific theory of plate tectonics strives to explain how mountains, ...

Using information from inside the rocks on Earth's surface, we have reconstructed the plate tectonics of the planet over the ...

It's the first time Earth's geologic record — information found inside rocks — has been used to create an animation of this kind.
