The same type of technology used by motorists to help them navigate city roadways can now be used to detect and measure the smallest movements in the Earth’s crust, an international group of ...

According to SpaceRef, "Earth's outer shell consists of about 15 shifting blocks of crust," that have been moving over millions of years to form the continents and unique landforms that currently ...

The rotation of Earth’s solid inner core may have recently paused relative to the mantle and crust and now appears to be reversing direction, Nikk Ogasa reported in “Earth’s inner core may ‘reverse’ ...

Some mountains can move in the blink of a geological eye. A new study finds evidence of surprisingly rapid upward movement of earth's crust on the island of Taiwan. Over roughly half a million years, ...

The Earth with the upper mantle exposed. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered a previously unknown layer of partly molten rock approximately 100 miles beneath the Earth's ...

Boulder, Colo., USA: A new study of zircon crystals from two of Earth’s oldest continents indicates that the formation of Earth’s continental crust goes through cycles, with periods of increased crust ...

Earth’s journey through the Milky Way might have helped create the planet’s first continents. Comets may have bombarded Earth every time the early solar system traveled through our galaxy’s spiral ...

Using an unprecedented amount of high-resolution satellite data, researchers have found that Earth’s fault lines are far weaker—and continents far less rigid—than long-standing geological models ...

Stable parts of the Earth's crust may not be as immovable as previously thought. While much of the crust is affected by plate tectonic activity, certain more stable portions have remained unchanged ...

Beneath our seemingly stable world, Earth's deep interior is actively shifting. Scientific research reveals that dense rock ...
