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?

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 ...

Earth scientists led by the University of Southampton have introduced a new mechanism to explain a long-standing geological puzzle. The mystery was the presence of continental chemical materials in ...

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 ...

The evolution of industrial-era warming across the continents and oceans provides a context for future climate change and is important for determining climate sensitivity and the processes that ...

New Delhi: Researchers have discovered that slivers of continents are slowly stripped by the mangle below, where they are swept into the oceanic mantle. The solid continents move over an ocean of ...
