"Our results represent the most globally complete understanding of recent lunar tectonism to date," Nypaver said. "The ...

Planetary scientists have produced the first global map of small mare ridges on the Moon, adding new evidence that the lunar surface has been reshaped in geologically recent times by tectonic forces ...

Far beneath the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,000 kilometers off Portugal’s coast, lies a colossal underwater canyon system that dwarfs even the Grand Canyon. Known as the King’s Trough Complex, this ...

Scientists have mapped thousands of young tectonic ridges across the Moon, showing it is still slowly shrinking. These ridges may mark previously unknown sources of moonquakes.

Researchers have uncovered more than a thousand previously unknown tectonic ridges across the Moon’s dark plains, showing the ...

Scientists have produced the first global map and analysis of small mare ridges (SMRs) on the moon, a characteristic geological feature of tectonic activity. The team’s discovery of how SMRs form ...

Mount Everest’s towering height isn’t shaped by tectonic forces alone. Its continued growth owes a quiet debt to nearby rivers. These rivers, cutting through deep gorges, have helped lift the mountain ...

Scientists say parts of Spain may be quietly absorbing underground tectonic pressure, helping explain scattered tremors across the region.
