In the heart of Asia, deep underground, two huge tectonic plates are crashing into each other — a violent but slow-motion bout of geological bumper cars that over time has sculpted the soaring ...

As the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly collide, the Himalayan mountains continue to rise. However a new study suggests the Indian plate may be peeling apart, causing a slab tear. Scientists ...

For decades scientists have been trying to understand the geologic forces driving the creation of the Himalayas, the worlds tallest mountain chain. A new study from an international team of scientist ...

The Himalayas, renowned as the world’s highest mountain range, have always been a focal point of significant geological research. These majestic peaks, often seen as the epitome of Earth’s structural ...

A massive collision between the Indian tectonic plate and the Eurasian tectonic plate is causing the Himalayas to grow, but new research suggests it might also be ripping Tibet apart. According to new ...

Yale researchers are delving deep beneath the Himalayas to investigate dynamic geological processes near the boundary of Earth's core and mantle. For a new study published in the journal Nature ...

The world's highest mountain system may have reached 60% of its current elevation before the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates crashed into each other, giving the peaks an extra push. When you ...

An eons-long collision that created the Himalayas, the world's tallest mountain range, may also be splitting Tibet apart into two pieces, new research suggests. The collision of the Indian and ...
