Scientists have discovered a long hidden plate boundary near the east coast of Africa that dates back about 180 million years ...

Transform boundaries neither create nor consume crust. Rather, two plates move against each other, building up tension, then releasing the tension in a sudden and often violent jerk. This sudden jerk ...

Scientists have discovered a huge tectonic boundary under Africa, running from Mozambique to Tanzania. The ancient fault line, dubbed the Rovuma Transform Margin, extends over 310 miles (500km) and ...

Schematic interpretation of electrical resistivity models in the context of the Gofar transform fault. 1) Results indicate that there is intensified fracturing along the fault plane of the transform ...

The undersea plate boundary beneath the Strait of Gibraltar, known as the Gibraltar arc, is slowly moving into the Atlantic ...

This study reports widespread mineral carbonation of mantle rocks in an oceanic transform fueled by magmatic degassing of CO2. The findings describe a previously unknown part of the geological carbon ...

Scientists have discovered a Jurassic tectonic plate boundary that could help to predict what the planet might look like millions of years into the future. Dr. Jordan Phethean, Senior Lecturer in ...
