No, it’s not because of the recent flooding.
Earth's environment may become unlivable for mammals in the next 250 million years, but at least this time human are not to blame.
It could mean big things for the electric vehicle industry.
Research on the Deniliquin structure points to an asteroid impact that would have been more than double the scale of the one that killed the dinosaurs.
Scientists have finally unraveled the mystery behind the powerful volcanic eruptions that catapult diamonds from deep within the Earth, scattering these precious gemstones across the planet's surface.
Olympus Mons could have been a volcanic island in the middle of a now-vanished Martian ocean.
Researchers have identified nearly imperceptible shifts along fault zones up to 2 hours before large earthquakes, potentially paving the way for better earthquake warning systems.
The inner core is not all solid as scientists used to think.
Studying historic eruptions through a storytelling lens often improves our understanding of and ability to prepare for such events.
For the first time, scientists have forged a nearly all-encompassing model of Earth’s surface evolution.
Humans have changed the planet in some pretty shocking ways.
The two tectonic plates in San Andreas are gliding past each other. Now, we can see them from high in the sky.
Marsquakes are helping us understand our solar neighbor.
As the city gradually sinks, it also becomes more vulnerable to flooding.
Martian seismic events provide clues to planet’s history
It triggered a mega-tsunami nearly 45 meters tall.
The world’s largest oceanic core complex is named after the reptilian monster from Japanese science fiction. Parts of the seabed feature were recently christened with the beast’s anatomy.
Crystals from Fagradalsfjall’s eruption mark how mantle magma might have been moving years before geophysical indicators alerted scientists to unrest.
It's one of the most spectacular fossils you'll ever see.
After a giant space rock slammed into Earth 66 million years ago, it unleashed a massive tsunami that crashed into nearby coastlines.
A change in the bowels of the Earth.
This is the story of the last in a breed of geological titans, a supercontinent we named Gondwana.
If you’re asking yourself what the world’s biggest reptile is, then the answer is a bit complicated because we have to make a significant distinction – do you want to know the largest living reptile or the largest reptile ever? For the former, the answer is pretty straightforward: the saltwater crocodile takes the crown, with […]
It's Hawaii as you've never seen it before.
Mars' geology isn't quite as funky as Earth's -- but it's not all that plain either.
People often ignore the hazard until it's too late.
Mars is turning out to be a more interesting place than we thought.
It doesn't make it any more likely to erupt, researchers assure us.
Measured from it's base, Mauna Loa is taller than Mount Everest.
It may be a desert now, but at some point in its history, Mars was flooded with water.
Among the surprises were magma and surface waves.
Given the development of California and its proximity to the fault, San Andreas can cause huge problems in the not-too-distant future.
This is no longer the diagram you know from your childhood.
This is much earlier than we assumed coastal cities would be having issues.
This suggests "diamond rain" may be quite common on other planets.
A researcher asks a very important question.
The suspected 9.5 earthquake took place in Chile and would have created huge tsunamis.
This research proves that Mars used to have quite a lot of surface water.
The megalodon was the ultimate apex predator.
It's an ice core with bubbles containing remains of ancient Earth atmosphere.
It's been an enduring mystery, but now we have the most likely answer
Volcanoes themselves can also impact the climate, due to a “cooling effect” that comes after eruptions.
The researchers said they’ve never seen anything like this.
Iceland has even put a livestream of the volcano, while warning people to stay away from the lava and toxic fumes.
Earth's magnetic field bounced back right in the nick of time around 550 million years ago.
The work could help develop models of the planet's history, find new minerals, habitable planets, and even extraterrestrial life.
A new analysis has verified that the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai undersea volcano in January 2022 was among the most explosive volcanic eruptions ever recorded. It was the largest volcanic eruption of the 21st century and also the largest eruption since the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa. The study, led by scientists from the […]
Metals, rock, and craters are sprinkled all throughout its surface.
The very detailed map has been released and is free to use.
