Mount Everest has been growing taller slowly over the years and that's not news, as the mountain was created when two tectonic plates crashed into each other over millennia.

Mount Everest is growing a bit faster than usual. And a 'river capture' may have to do with it

Scientists have discovered a part of Earth 120 million years old in Borneo that has been thought to be lost for a long time. The existence of a tectonic plate named Pontus came to light after Suzanna van de Lagemaat, a graduate geologist at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, and her supervisor, Douwe van Hinsbergen, analysed geological data from mountains in the Asia-Pacific region.

Humans across the world have been taught that there are seven continents on Earth, namely, Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Not seven but six continents are present on Earth, claims a shocking study. Here's how

In a new study, scientists found that several rigid tectonic plates which are under the Pacific Ocean are being pulled apart. Earth has an outer shell, which is called the lithosphere and is divided into various rigid plates.

Tibet might be splitting apart as the Indian tectonic plate's upper part is tearing and warping because of constant collision, suggests a new study. A recent study presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union showed that the geology underneath the Himalayas, the world's highest mountain range, might be more complicated than previously believed.

Scientists have found an ancient tectonic plate in Southeast Asia that had disappeared at least 20 million years ago. Called the Pontus plate, the fragments of the crust were discovered in the South China Sea near Borneo island.

Researchers have discovered a hidden passageway beneath central Panama through which wind from the Earth's ''mantle'' is actively “blowing.” Scientists believe that the secret passage beneath Panama holds the clue behind the reason that rocks from Earth's mantle are found over 1,609 kilometers from where they originated.
