As the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly collide, the Himalayan mountains continue to rise. However a new study suggests the Indian plate may be peeling apart, causing a slab tear. Scientists ...

In the heart of Asia, deep underground, two huge tectonic plates are crashing into each other — a violent but slow-motion bout of geological bumper cars that over time has sculpted the soaring ...

Researchers analyzing seismic data from southern Tibet have uncovered evidence that the Indian tectonic plate is fragmenting as it pushes beneath the Eurasian plate. This discovery which came as a ...

Deep beneath the mountains of the Himalayas, something remarkable is taking place. The vast, rocky plate supporting India, known as the Indian Plate, is slowly breaking apart. Recent scientific ...

For decades scientists have been trying to understand the geologic forces driving the creation of the Himalayas, the worlds tallest mountain chain. A new study from an international team of scientist ...

Southern Spain sits at the heart of one of Europe’s most seismically active regions due to the slow but constant convergence ...

An eons-long collision that created the Himalayas, the world's tallest mountain range, may also be splitting Tibet apart into two pieces, new research suggests. The collision of the Indian and ...
