Caltech researchers have developed a new method to study Earth's structure deep beneath the surface, at the boundary between ...

Mountains rise, continents merge and split, and earthquakes shake the ground. All of these processes result from plate tectonics, the movement of enormous chunks of Earth's crust. This movement may be ...

Its study includes plate tectonics, volcanism, the chemistry of lava and volcanic rocks, gravity and geomagnetic anomalies as well as seismic investigations into the structure of the mantle.

Roughly 233 million years ago, Earth’s continents were fused into one massive landmass, and life as we know it was on the ...

Discover what media literacy is and how to teach media literacy with these downloadable interactive secondary KS3 and KS4 resources from BBC Teach. Filmed in real life work settings, the videos ...

This topic appears in KS3/GCSE in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. These biology focused films are from the BBC series Biology Bites, and are presented by scientist and rapper Jon Chase.

This process, known as plate tectonics, may be the very reason life thrives on Earth. Uniquely, Earth is the only planet known to have both plate tectonics and life, a coincidence that many ...

But to find that complexity, we must take the lessons of the boring billion to heart. Planets are not just a stage on which the drama of life’s evolution takes place. They are main characters too.

From the deepest ocean trench to the tallest mountain, plate tectonics explains the features and movement of Earth's surface in the present and the past. The theory of plate tectonics was ...

The Indian landmass was a part of the supercontinent called 'Gondwanaland', which was situated close to the African continent. Because of the little-understood tectonic drama, the Indian plate ...

But when did Earth's surface splinter into tectonic plates? And when did those plates start moving? It's an important question because plate tectonics seems to fuel the evolution and complexity of ...
