School of Rock – Earthquakes are caused by the characteristics of Rocks in Fault Zones

Earthquakes occur along fault lines between continental plates, where one plate is diving beneath another. Pressure builds between each plate, called fault stress. When this…
Inner Core of the Earth is Undergoing Metamorphosis

Inner Core of the Earth is Undergoing Metamorphosis

Earth’s inner core is undergoing structural transformation. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth’s surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid…
Exploring Japan’s past Geologically through Volcanogenic huge Sulfide Deposits

Exploring Japan’s past Geologically through Volcanogenic huge Sulfide Deposits

Dating key tectonic events in Japan’s geological history has long been often challenging due to poor microfossil preservation from intense heat due to metamorphism. Researchers…

Lighthouse in the Gobi Desert

A new study published in the journal PLOS ONE investigates the weight of significant fossil sites on our knowledge of evolutionary links between fossil groups,…
Plate Tectonics

Plate Tectonics

Plate tectonics is a scientific hypothesis that describes the large-scale movement of the Earth’s lithosphere. According to scientific theory, the Earth’s lithosphere is made up…
