Had the team found evidence that the mantle plume under Easter Island has been active for 165 million years? To answer that question, Rojas-Agramonte needed evidence from the geology of the 'Ring ...

An unexpected find in tiny crystals hints that the Earth's mantle may not quite behave as has been believed for nearly a century.

Emerging evidence suggests that plate tectonics, or the recycling of Earth's crust, may have begun much earlier than previously thought — and may be a big reason that our planet harbors life.

The North China Craton (NCC) is a very old and stable geological structure, experiencing deformations since the Mesozoic era.

Even after the breakup of Pangaea approximately 200 million years ago, the signatures of geological processes persisted in ...
