Geodynamic Mantle-Flow Model Reveals Erosion Process of North China Craton
New research from China University of Geosciences unveils how tectonic shifts eroded the once-stable North China Craton. Led by Professor Shaofeng Liu, this study explores flat-slab subduction processes, revealing three stages of deformation due to the ancient Izanagi plate’s horizontal movement beneath the Eurasian plate. This breakthrough redef...

Gargantuan Waves in Earth’s Mantle May Cause Continental Uplift, New Study Reveals
New research has unveiled that enormous waves within Earth's mantle are instrumental in forming high plateaus and dramatic cliff formations. This study explores how the rifting of continents triggers these mantle waves, which then propagate inward and lead to the rise of plateaus. By analyzing escarpments formed during the breakup of Gondwana, scie...

Earth’s Continents Formed by Gigantic Meteorite Impacts, Claims New Research
Earth’s continents were formed by gigantic meteorite impacts that were prevalent during the first billion years of our planet's history. The new study has been a part of new Curtin research. The idea about the continents originally forming at sites of giant meteorite impacts had been around for decades. However, this study provides strong evidenc...
