Around five million years ago, Earth may have witnessed the largest flood in recorded history. This flood, according to ...

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.

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 ...

The Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency said the earthquake was centered in the Mediterranean Sea and struck at ...

That process is plate tectonics, in which Earth continuously subsumes and reforms the slabs of its rocky outer shell. It is thought to be inextricably linked to habitability and perhaps an ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists studying rocks in South Africa report evidence for the earliest known earthquake triggered by plate tectonics. The temblor struck more than 3 billion years ago. The rocks preserve ...

However, Venus may have once had tectonic plate movements that are similar to what occurred during Earth’s early days. The new finding gives astronomers some novel scenarios to evaluate ...
