So there I was, halfway through penning a guide to Aion's spy quests, when it really hit me -- boy, rifting sure has changed. And not just a little bit, either; we've seen a complete reworking of some ...

The geological record at rifted margins often preserves evidence for voluminous magmatism during continental breakup 1,2. However, the principal control on the creation of this thick transitional ...

Where continents rift apart, new crust is formed from upwelling magma. Eventually, a new ocean basin forms. In this web focus we present opinion pieces, along with research and overview articles that ...

Recent seismic research has unveiled a fascinating geological phenomenon occurring beneath the Pacific Northwest. The Earth’s crust is tearing apart, a process driven by tectonic forces in the region.

What role could rifted margins play in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy? Researchers summarize the current state of knowledge about the so-called rifting of continents. Rifting is the term ...

Scientists are studying carbon emissions through fault systems in the East African Rift (EAR) in an effort to understand carbon emissions from Earth's interior and how it affects the atmosphere.

The Red Sea is parting again, but this time Moses doesn’t have a hand in it. Satellite images show that the Arabian tectonic plate and the African plate are moving away from each other, stretching the ...
