Scientists have uncovered a hidden geological process where fragments of continents are slowly stripped from below and swept deep into the oceanic mantle, sparking volcanic activity in unexpected ...

Once inside the oceanic mantle, bits of continents become part of the magma factory that powers ocean volcanoes.

Researchers discovered that continents don’t just split at the surface—they also peel from below, feeding volcanic activity in the oceans. Simulations reveal that slow mantle waves strip continental ...

A team of Earth scientists has discovered that continents are slowly peeling apart from below—sending fragments deep into the ...

Earth scientists have discovered how continents are slowly peeled from beneath, fuelling volcanic activity in an unexpected ...

A new study advances the understanding of the role that continents have played in the chemical evolution of Earth's oceans, with implications for understanding atmospheric oxygenation and global ...
