For the first time, ETH scientists have successfully recreated the formation of continental crust in the Archean using a computer simulation. The model helps scientists to better understand processes ...
Earth's crust is constantly in motion. As tectonic plates that make up the lithosphere shift, pulling apart and crashing into each other, the crust fractures and folds in response. Both faulting and ...

It’s Not the Earth’s Crust Holding up the Himalayas — Experts Point to a Surprising Geology
The thick outer crust of Earth has zillions of wafer-like pieces interlocked and held together like a cork trapping the molten hot mantle. The blizzard-like forces agitating inside the mantle continue ...
Physicists in the US have proven that wax is an excellent model of the ocean floors. Using a tub of wax, geophysicists at Cornell and Columbia have produced a predictive model of tectonic microplates ...
