Scientists warn that the plate beneath Gibraltar arc will begin to shift toward the Atlantic within 20 million years.
A new study, resorting to computational models, predicts that a subduction zone currently below the Gibraltar Strait will propagate further inside the Atlantic and contribute to forming an Atlantic ...

Jessica DePaolis (second from left) and the team of researchers studied and compared sedimentary core samples in Montague Island, Alaska, and found evidence that four of the past eight earthquakes ...
EUGENE, Ore. (NBC) -- When an earthquake rips along the Cascadia Subduction Zone fault, much of the U.S. West Coast could shake violently for five minutes, and tsunami waves as tall as 100 feet could ...
Our planet's lithosphere is broken into several tectonic plates. Their configuration is ever-shifting, as supercontinents are assembled and broken up, and oceans form, grow, and then start to close in ...
