Tectonic evolution is one of the main items controlling geosites. Geomorphosites are defined as landforms that exhibit notable geomorphological features, aiding in the comprehension of geological ...

Planetary scientists have produced the first global map of small mare ridges on the Moon, adding new evidence that the lunar surface has been reshaped in geologically recent times by tectonic forces ...

Using information from inside the rocks on Earth's surface, we have reconstructed the plate tectonics of the planet over the last 1.8 billion years. It is the first time Earth's geological record has ...
Things may be moving on Venus’ surface. In 1983, researchers discovered that the planet’s surface was speckled with strange, circular landforms. These rounded mountain belts, known as coronae, have no ...
The earth's surface is made up of two types of crust: A lot of volcanic activity occurs in the 'ring of fire'. The 'ring of fire' is a group of volcanoes that are located along the plate margin of the ...
Much of the brittle, upper crust of Venus is broken into fragments that jostle and move—and the slow churning of Venus' mantle beneath the surface might be responsible. My colleagues and I arrived at ...
Evaluation of landforms, soils, and deposits formed by active tectonics is providing basic data necessary for long-term earthquake prediction, seismic-hazard evaluation, and probabilistic seismic-risk ...
