The continents we know are not stable entities. According to a study published in Nature Geoscience, their base undergoes ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden geological process where fragments of continents are slowly stripped from below and swept deep into the oceanic mantle, sparking volcanic activity in unexpected ...

A new study led by University of Wisconsin Oshkosh geologist Timothy Paulsen and Michigan Tech geologist Chad Deering advances the understanding of the role that continents have played in the chemical ...

Researchers discovered that continents don’t just split at the surface—they also peel from below, feeding volcanic activity in the oceans. Simulations reveal that slow mantle waves strip continental ...

A team of Earth scientists has discovered that continents are slowly peeling apart from below—sending fragments deep into the ...

These continental fragments are then swept sideways into the oceanic mantle, sometimes travelling over 1,000 km. Once in the ...

Earth scientists have discovered how continents are slowly peeled from beneath, fuelling volcanic activity in an unexpected ...
