Rocks from Australia have given scientists the oldest direct proof that Earth's surface was moving in separate pieces 3.5 billion years ago.

Earth’s earliest crust may have looked a lot more like the continents we know today than scientists once believed. A recent study shakes up old ideas about how Earth's surface evolved, showing that ...

Deep within Earth, subtle variations in how seismic waves travel are revealing a hidden pattern of deformation in the planet’s lowest mantle layer.

Geomorphology – the study of landforms and the processes that shape the Earth’s surface – integrates observations of tectonic, fluvial, glacial, aeolian, and coastal dynamics to explain landscape ...

The Earth’s oceans have risen and fallen over the millennia. But they have, on average, been relatively stable over billions of years. The balance of the deep water cycle—the exchange of water between ...
