Weathered residual Kaolin deposits on the northern margin of the Qinzhou-Hangzhou Suture Zone are characterized by more feldspar ... FIGURE 2. Regional geological map in Yichun area of Jiangxi ...

Megathrust earthquakes occur when stress at subduction zones is released, causing significant plate slippage. These events disrupt long-term tectonic changes, complicating modeling efforts.

I recently participated in a three-week-long, National Science Foundation-funded research cruise to the Mariana Trench. Our ...

Learn how Besshi-type volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits are helping scientists understand ridge subduction, volcanic activity, and the formation of Japan’s unique geological landscape.

However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants can also be found far from subduction zones, complicating this-long held geologic narrative. The researchers theorize that these far ...

Their findings were published in Scientific Reports on 3 December, 2024. Ridge subduction is an important geological process that triggers volcanic activity, thermal metamorphism (the alteration ...

The Palisades Fire’s eastern flank spread in the Mandeville Canyon area, burning toward homes west of the 405 Freeway and the Sepulveda Pass. Evacuation orders and warnings remained in effect ...

The map shows the active wildfire perimeter and the areas under mandatory evacuation orders and warnings. Users can also pan and zoom the map to see the location of the fire in relation to other ...

Five major wildfires were burning Thursday morning in Los Angeles with strong winds in the forecast through the rest of the week and tens of thousands of people under evacuation orders. Palisades ...
