The subterranean aquifer lurking in the mountains contains three times as much water as Lake Mead at full capacity.

A long-lost oceanic plate is diving deep into the mantle, dragging down the crust above, researchers say. However, the plate ...

Plate tectonics is relatively new, put forth in the last 30 years or so — its forerunner was the now-discarded continental ... to new mountain ranges. Here's a look at Live Science's news ...

Plate tectonics give Earth its mountains, earthquakes, continental drift and maybe even helped give rise to life itself. But do other planets in the solar system have them too?

Longest mountain range, running through the Atlantic Ocean, separating the Eurasian and North American plates in the north, ...

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of plates, which have moved throughout Earth's history. The theory explains the how and why behind mountains, volcanoes, and ...

If this was the case, then mountains would be spread evenly over the Earth’s surface. We know that this is not the case. Wegener suggested that mountains formed when the edge of a drifting ...

An international research team has investigated the influence of the forces exerted by the Zagros Mountains in the Kurdistan region of Iraq on how much the surface of the Earth has bent over the last ...

Fold Mountains, such as the Andes, are also found at destructive plate boundaries. They are formed due to the pressure of the two plates colliding, which forces the continental crust to crumple ...
