Learn about how volcanoes are formed and the ways they erupt Chiara Maria Petrone, Roberto Scandone, and Alex Whittaker On ...

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world’s most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology presents ...

The big one about “The Big One” hit 10 years ago. On July 13, 2015, The New Yorker shook us up with “The Really Big One,” ...

These mountains are entering the subduction zone and are melting. As the crust evolved from oceanic to continental, its density was reduced, allowing Costa Rica and Panama to emerge from the sea.

Subduction zones are found around the world, mostly in coastal regions where an oceanic plate dives beneath a continental plate. The resulting geohazards include the largest earthquakes and tsunamis, ...

For millions of years, Earth’s moving plates have sculpted continents, carved oceans, and built massive mountain ranges. Yet ...

Subduction zones are not only responsible for volcanoes but also for some of the world’s most devastating earthquakes, as immense pressure builds up and is released in sudden, powerful jolts.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone looks a little different than researchers thought. Here's what that means for "The Big One." ...

WASHINGTON, USA — A "swarm" of small earthquakes near the summit of Mount Rainier Tuesday is no cause for concern, according ...

Slow-motion earthquakes, as you might guess from the name, involve the release of pent-up geological energy over the course ...

Carbon recycled to arc volcanoes — those located above an oceanic plate subduction zone — originates from three places: the subducted oceanic plate or slab, the mantle wedge overlying the ...
