Volcanoes and earthquakes are both natural phenomena driven by the dynamic processes that shape Earth’s interior and surface.

The Geological Society of London suggests that the phenomenon could be a result of the heat flow from the asthenosphere ... indicative of a thinning of the lithosphere, with some degree of ...

This was when the Earth was one continent called Pangaea that slowly broke apart and spread out to form the continents we know today. These continents aren’t going to stay in place forever, however. A ...

Roughly 250 million years ago, traveling from present-day Australia to North America would have been surprisingly simple-a ...

This course deals with the composition and evolution of the crust, lithospheric mantle and asthenosphere. Seismic imaging techniques ... and present state of the continental as well as oceanic ...

Others have suggested that the lithosphere, a layer of the Earth’s mantle that ‘floats’ on the more fluid-like and weaker asthenosphere, could be to blame. You can think of it like an ...

The outermost layer of Earth, the lithosphere, is composed of solid ... They move slowly on the more fluid layer beneath them, the asthenosphere. Convection currents in Earth’s mantle drive ...

After Albert’s explanation of Afar’s volcanic and tectonic past, I will look into this region’s Holocene volcanism, and try to create the first comprehensive volcanic history of this very ...

In the southern part, the lithosphere thinned beneath the Indochina and Cathaysia Blocks, and the anisotropy is plausibly caused by the upwelling and lateral flows of upwelling hot asthenospheric ...
