The video reconstructs Earth’s surface evolution, presented as a relative plate motion model and it's stunning.

The ancient coelacanth, which has existed for some 419 million years, never stopped evolving despite its reputation as a ...

Climate change and asteroids are linked with animal origin and extinction -- and plate tectonics also seems to play a key evolutionary role, 'groundbreaking' new fossil research reveals. The discovery ...

Coelacanth fossils like these are useful because two known coelacanth species are still alive today. They are likened to ...

This links plate tectonics with the chemistry of the atmosphere, and some of that oxygen dissolves into the oceans. In turn, a number of critical metals – like copper and cobalt – are more ...
