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 ...

THE wide appeal of Prof. Wegener's theory of the arrangement of ocean and continent is shown by, the issue of a third greatly revised edition and of this excellent English translation. His theory is ...

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 ...

You can find virtually anything on Google, and it appears that now includes reviews for Earth’s continents and oceans. Ever wondered what the internet thinks about the entire continent of Europe?

Seen from space, our planet has often been called a "blue marble." It's not, however, just the swirly white clouds that give Earth its marbled appearance. The continents: They are what complete the ...

These continental fragments are then swept sideways into the oceanic mantle, sometimes travelling over 1,000 km. Once in the ...

The continents may have first risen high above the oceans of the world about 3 billion years ago, researchers say. That's about a billion years earlier than geoscientists had suspected for the ...

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 new study led by University of Wisconsin Oshkosh geologist Timothy Paulsen and Michigan Tech geologist Chad Deering advances the understanding of the role that continents have played in the chemical ...
