“The Mediterranean is a dog’s breakfast,” says Robert Stern, a plate tectonics expert at the University of Texas at Dallas who was not involved with the work. Within this messy ...

The world’s biggest flood in history may have filled the entire Mediterranean around five million years ago, creating what we ...

The oldest known bit of oceanic crust, located in the Mediterranean, dates to just 340 million years ago, making it far too young to be useful for pinpointing when plate tectonics arose.

the ancestors of seahorses were able to spread from their home base in the Mediterranean region to other areas, including Southeast Asia. And here’s where plate tectonics enters the ...

According to the paper, which used computational models to predict future plate tectonics, the subduction zone in the Mediterranean underneath the Gibraltar Strait is expected to move further into ...

If plate tectonics, oceans and continents are rare on worlds throughout the universe, that is. Alien life capable of communicating across interstellar space might not be able to evolve if its home ...

This process, called plate tectonics, is responsible for earthquakes, volcanoes, ocean ridges and vast mountain ranges on Earth's surface. We know that other rocky bodies, such as Venus ...

It has been thought that plate tectonics were a significant factor in the shaping of our planet and the evolution of life. Mars and Venus don't experience such movements of crustal plates ...
