Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more accurate projections of sea level rise. The findings are published in the ...

Millions of years from now, Northern Africa could be home to a new ocean as tectonic plates pull apart along the East African Rift System, scientists say. Experts have long known that portions of the ...

Earth scientists have discovered how continents are slowly peeled from beneath, fueling volcanic activity in an unexpected place: the oceans. The research, led by the University of Southampton, shows ...

The desert floor in Ethiopia looks fixed and ancient, but it is moving. Across the Afar region and down the East African Rift, the African continent is being pulled apart by forces deep below the ...

Remains of the “lost continent” known as Argoland, which once stretched the width of the United States, have been found, researchers said. Photo from Thomas Vimare, UnSplash While Atlantis — a fabled ...

Computational modeling shows that plate tectonics weren't necessary for early continents. The formation of Earth's continents billions of years ago set the stage for life to thrive. But scientists ...

Recent earth science developments suggest that how we count our planet’s largest land masses is less clear than we learned in school. By Matt Kaplan The world is split up into continents, there are ...

Somewhere south of India, the ocean surface dips by roughly 100 meters below the expected shape of the Earth, a gravitational ...
