The movement of Earth's viscous mantle against South America has pushed the Caribbean islands east over the last 50 million years, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature ...
Boulder, CO, USA – The geology of northern Central America reveals a complex record of tectonic and volcanic processes operating in tandem. A new volume published by the Geological Society of America ...
Earthquakes and volcanism occur as a result of plate tectonics. The movement of tectonic plates themselves is largely driven by the process known as subduction. The question of how new active ...
Seismic activity in the Caribbean is normal, but there have been stronger quakes in the last week. In fact, three quakes of at least magnitude 6 struck between the last days of 2019 and the start of ...
Plate tectonics in the Pacific and Atlantic during the Cretaceous period shaped the Caribbean region
The concurrent subduction of the Pacific and Atlantic plates resulted in the formation of a mantle plum and the ascent of magma. Credit: Nicolas Riel Earthquakes and volcanism occur as a result of ...
Cooler and blustery weather returns Thursday. The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory until midnight for gusts up to 55 mph. by Ryan Miller TOPICS: At 2:10 p.m. eastern standard time, ...
The worst quake – a magnitude 6.4 that struck early Tuesday – killed at least one person. Tectonics in Puerto Rico are dominated by the convergence between the North America and Caribbean tectonic ...
In Jamaica, jerk is an adjective. It is a verb. It is a description. It is a process. It is a way of life on the island, where jerking the flesh of wild-caught animals was originally about preserving ...
The image shows how the Caribbean plate is pushed to the east relative to the South American plate, causing the Caribbean Islands' distinctive arc shape. The movement of Earth's viscous mantle against ...
