Earthquakes. A short video for 11-14 year old pupils, exploring tectonic activity and earthquakes and featuring case studies ...

A powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.7 centred in the Sagaing region near the Myanmar city of Mandalay caused extensive ...

Now in Nature, Wannamaker and colleagues use electrical resistivity data to investigate a plate boundary in New Zealand where a subduction zone beneath the North Island is lengthening at the ...

Four types of plate tectonic activity are demonstrated in this feature. Keep an eye on the map to see where in the world the activity takes place. Also known as spreading boundary, a divergent ...

New crust is continually being pushed away from divergent boundaries (where sea-floor spreading occurs), increasing Earth's surface. But the Earth isn't getting any bigger. What happens, then, to ...

A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar's Sagaing region, causing widespread damage and raising questions about the country's preparedness. Myanmar, located on a tectonic plate boundary, is prone to ...

As the overlying plate lifts up, it also forms mountain ranges ... A mid-ocean ridge would then mark the boundary between the plates. Mountains and a rift can be seen along the San Andreas ...

At a destructive boundary the plates are moving towards each other. This usually involves a continental plate and an oceanic plate. The oceanic plate is denser than the continental plate.
