The Key to Complex Life Might Lie Miles Below Our Feet
The 'boring billion' period of evolution may hold key insights into the Cambrian explosion and the interconnected evolution of life and Earth's geological processes.
Turkey earthquakes displaced the Earth's crust by hundreds of miles
The 2023 Turkey earthquakes triggered unexpected crustal shifts, prompting a reevaluation of seismic models and risk predictions.
Earthquakes May Forge Large Gold Nuggets
Earthquakes may contribute to the formation of large gold nuggets through a newly proposed geochemical process.
Geology's biggest mystery: when did plate tectonics start to reshape Earth?
The history of plate tectonics is increasingly understood despite significant uncertainty spanning Earth's geological history.
The Volcanic Vines of Chile
Chile has the highest number of active volcanos in South America, with volcanic material making up the soils in its main winegrowing regions.
The movement of tectonic plates in Chile causes both volcanos and earthquakes, with the country experiencing the largest recorded earthquake in history.

How River Piracy' Helped Give Mount Everest a Growth Spurt
Mount Everest's height is partly due to ancient rivers that eroded massive amounts of rock, causing the mountain to rebound upwards by around 50 metres.
North America and Europe should be classed as ONE continent
There are claims of only six continents due to the ongoing break-up of European and North American continents.
