Earth surface is covered with rigid plates that move, crash into each other and dive into the planet's interior. But when did this process begin?

How plate tectonics may have impacted life Stern and Gerya focused on active planets — those with interiors that are still hot enough to partially melt material and form young volcanoes.

Modelling suggests the giant impact that formed the moon also left behind material deep inside Earth that may have helped kick off plate tectonics.

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 ...
