Carbon released from Earth's spreading tectonic plates, not volcanoes, may have triggered major transitions between ancient ice ages and warm climates, new research finds.
A study on tectonic plates that converge on the Tibetan Plateau has shown that Earth's fault lines are far weaker and the ...

New seismic imaging shows magma lingering beneath quiet Cascade volcanoes, shaping how scientists monitor and plan for eruptions.
Natural disasters, from wildfires, floods and mudslides in western states to large earthquakes in Japan, have rocked, burned and flooded parts of the world in the first months of 2025. What’s next?
Researchers recently discovered a huge chain of extinct volcanoes buried deep below South China that formed when two tectonic plates collided during the breakup of Rodinia, around 800 million years ...
The Ring of Fire is an enormous belt of active and dormant volcanoes that surrounds most of the Pacific Ocean. It runs from southern Chile, up the west coast of the Americas, through the islands off ...

Volcanoes had lower greenhouse gas emissions in Earth's past
Eruptions from volcanic arcs, found where tectonic plates converge, are one of the major drivers of natural carbon emissions, but a model of Earth’s ancient carbon cycle suggests this is a relatively ...
Scientists say they've discovered a 400-mile chain of extinct and fossilized volcanoes beneath southern China. The volcanoes, the researchers claim, were likely formed when two major tectonic plates ...
New research highlights the significant role of tectonic plate movements in shaping global climate, challenging previous theories about carbon dioxide emissions.
