A new study, resorting to computational models, predicts that a subduction zone currently below the Gibraltar Strait will propagate further inside the Atlantic and contribute to forming an Atlantic ...

The model from OSU researchers shows subterranean fluid in the Cascadia Subduction Zone. It could help inform predictions about what would happen in an earthquake.

Map highlighting the Atlantic subduction zones, the fully developed Lesser Antilles and Scotia arcs on the western side and the incipient Gibraltar arc on the eastern side. From Duarte et al., 2018.

A groundbreaking study in Science Advances reveals that Earth's tectonic plates are breaking apart under the Cascadia ...

Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. The Makran Subduction Zone, located in the northeastern Arabian Sea, is an active tectonic region where the Arabian Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian ...

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slides beneath another, produce the most devastating seismic, volcanic, and landslide hazards on the planet. A new report presents an ambitious plan to make ...

An international research collaboration has harnessed supercomputing power to better understand how massive slabs of ancient ocean floors are shaped as they sink hundreds of kilometers below Earth's ...

Our planet's lithosphere is broken into several tectonic plates. Their configuration is ever-shifting, as supercontinents are assembled and broken up, and oceans form, grow, and then start to close in ...
