Far below the postcard beaches and turquoise shallows of Bermuda, scientists have mapped a colossal slab of rock that should ...
Image: Tiny crystals called zircons are used to date oceanic crust. A newly developed method that detects tiny bits of zircon in rock reliably predicts the age of ocean crust more than 99 percent of ...
Learn about the swelled-up structure beneath Bermuda, where a thick layer of buoyant rock may be holding up oceanic crust. The Bermuda Triangle has been the source of tall tales for decades, but deep ...
Scientists have identified an unusually thick rock layer deep beneath the Bermuda Triangle, revealing a geological feature unlike anything previously documented. The structure, measuring about 20 ...
An international research team has discovered that a subduction zone's age affects the ability for it to recycle water between the Earth's surface and its inner layers. The more mature the subduction ...
The formation and composition of oceanic crust remain central yet unresolved questions in plate tectonics. While seismic data suggest a globally uniform crustal thickness (~6 km), petrological ...
