Computer modelling has shown a scenario that accounts for the surface subduction in the Jovian moon’s plate tectonics
Astronomers and geoscientists have joined forces using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to find out what makes a rocky planet Earth-like
New imagery shows geologic features that indicate the tiny planet is still contracting today, joining Earth as a tectonically active planet in our Solar System
Researchers have found evidence that Jupiter’s moon Europa could have tectonic plates – just like Earth
