As the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly collide, the Himalayan mountains continue to rise. However a new study suggests the Indian plate may be peeling apart, causing a slab tear. Scientists ...

The forces shaping the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau have long been a mystery to geologists. New seismic data, however, reveals an unexpected process taking place beneath the Earth’s surface. A ...

For decades scientists have been trying to understand the geologic forces driving the creation of the Himalayas, the worlds tallest mountain chain. A new study from an international team of scientist ...

In the heart of Asia, deep underground, two huge tectonic plates are crashing into each other — a violent but slow-motion bout of geological bumper cars that over time has sculpted the soaring ...

India is moving towards a major geological hazard. Scientists have warned that the Indian tectonic plate is now breaking into two parts, and this process could expose the country to devastating ...

Deep beneath the mountains of the Himalayas, something remarkable is taking place. The vast, rocky plate supporting India, known as the Indian Plate, is slowly breaking apart. Recent scientific ...

An eons-long collision that created the Himalayas, the world's tallest mountain range, may also be splitting Tibet apart into two pieces, new research suggests. The collision of the Indian and ...
