The islands of Bermuda are a scientific mystery. Not because of the notorious Bermuda Triangle nearby, but because they're ...

Venus, often written off as a geologically dead world, is far more active beneath its blistering surface than previously thought, according to new research. Unlike Earth, Venus lacks the geological ...

Reservoirs of hydrogen gas that form naturally in Earth's crust could help humans decarbonize. The challenge now is finding ...

The earth's structure can be compared to an orange: its crust is the peel supported by the earth's heavy mantle. That peel is made up of a continental crust 30 to 40 kilometers thick. It is much ...

For decades, helium has been produced with natural gas, generating huge carbon emissions. Now, geologists are looking for new helium sources — and finding enormous "carbon-free" reservoirs that could ...

How do you make half the mass of two continents disappear? To answer that question, you first need to discover that it’s missing. That’s what a trio of University of Chicago geoscientists and their ...

New experiments have re-created the genesis of Earth’s first continents. By putting the squeeze on water and oceanic rocks under intense heat, researchers produced material that closely resembles the ...

Rocks from the Rio Grande continental rift have provided a rare snapshot of active geology deep inside Earth's crust, revealing new evidence for how continents remain stable over billions of years, ...

Geologists have demonstrated new scientific results to support a new theory on the earliest phase of continental formation. Geologists from the Universities of Bonn and Cologne have demonstrated new ...
