Researchers have identified an ancient tectonic fragment, the Pioneer fragment, buried under the coast, which may exacerbate earthquake hazards associated with the San Andreas and Cascadia faults.

Ancient plate tectonics in the Archean period differs from modern plate tectonics in the Phanerozoic period because of the higher mantle temperatures inside the early Earth, the thicker basaltic crust ...

A new study has revealed that tectonic activity on Venus may have caused sections of the planet's upper crust to become fragmented into smaller bodies that, over vast swathes of time, barge past each ...
