The Columbia River Basalt Group in the northwestern United States, derived from flood basalt eruptions that occurred 16 million years ago, exhibits variability in geography and trace element ...

The magma climbs the crustal ladder, so to speak, as it lodges in shallower and shallower chambers before erupting. The crust then warms and weakens, melting more of the surrounding crust, which ...

Potential for crustal deformation monitoring using a dense cell phone carrier Global Navigation Satellite System network. Earth, Planets and Space, 2022; 74 (1) DOI: 10.1186/s40623-022-01585-7; ...

The western Qilian Mountains in the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau is an ideal place to test the crustal deformation mechanisms of the plateau. The study revealed the detailed crustal ...

The new method inverts the crustal stress from hydrologic signatures (measurable fluid flow) of numerous, differently-oriented fractures that are penetrated by deep boreholes.

Washington’s major crustal faults can generate quakes as big as magnitude 7 to 7.5. While that’s far less powerful than a magnitude 9 subduction zone megaquake, a quake of that size near any ...

A small international team of Earth scientists, geologists and astronomers has conducted a study of Mars morphology and mineralogy and discovered that the planet may have experienced volcanism and ...

Scientists found new evidence that Earth’s crust is peeling underneath the Sierra Nevada in California. The process might be how the continents formed, they say.
