At the boundary between these ... Each of these locations contained fragments of ancient oceanic crust that helped piece together the plate’s story. One of the most crucial discoveries came ...

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of plates, which have moved throughout Earth's history. The theory explains the how and why behind mountains, volcanoes ...

In locations around the world ... Deep trenches appear at these boundaries, caused by the oceanic plate bending downward into the Earth. Deep below the Earth's surface, subduction causes partial ...

In regions of convergence, one plate can sink under another in a subduction zone, or two colliding plates can form a mountain belt. At divergent boundaries, plates move away from each other and ...

Intraplate volcanism, or volcanism occurring away from plate boundaries, can provide clues ... then compared these maps of mantle water to locations where intraplate volcanism occurred over ...

Myanmar's location on a tectonic plate boundary makes it prone to earthquakes, although large quakes in the Sagaing region are relatively rare. The shallow depth of the earthquake amplified the ...

These convergent boundaries also occur where a plate of ocean dives, in a process called subduction, under a landmass. As the overlying plate lifts up, it also forms mountain ranges. In addition ...
