Researchers have found fresh evidence that Africa is breaking apart because of a deep mantle superplume of hot rock beneath ...

A research team utilized teleseismic double-difference tomography technology to uncover the morphological changes of the ...

Stretching 4,000 miles, the East African Rift System is one of the largest in the world—and scientists just uncovered the ...

The research supports the argument that Venus’ tectonics are active today, he says. What’s more, the demonstrated ability of computer simulations to predict what spacecraft may observe will be a boon ...

A massive African superplume appears to be driving the divide of one of the world's largest continents. Here's what we know.

Although the running theory is that hot, buoyant deep-mantle upwelling drives the rifting process, it’s been very difficult to figure out if this comes from one deep-sourced plume or multiple ...
