The paper " New maps of global geological provinces and tectonic plates" is published in the journal Earth-Science Reviews (2022). Materials provided by the University of Adelaide.

The first whole-Earth plate tectonic map of half a billion years of Earth’s history EARTH is estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old, with life first appearing around three billion years ago.

N ew scientific models mapping the Earth ’s tectonic plates could help to sharpen our collective understanding of natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, scientists have said ...

The Mediterranean Sea is a rather young body of water that formed around five and a half million years ago, as a result of the world’s biggest flood which ocean-ified a previously hot, dry desert.

The eastern Mediterranean has a particularly complex tectonic structure involving several “microplates”, including the Anatolian plate, on which most of Turkey sits. A mere 100m years ago ...

The dense rock at the far north of the African tectonic plate, beneath the Mediterranean Sea, has practically sunk under the Eurasian plate, on which Europe sits.
