long-term changes occurring at subduction zones. The cycle of sudden earthquakes and slow plate movement makes it difficult for scientists to create a single computer model that accurately ...

International scientists reveal that magma transports gold from the mantle to the surface by means of a sulfur complex.

Earthquakes occur along fault lines between continental plates, where one plate is diving beneath another. Pressure builds ...

This thermodynamic model can then be applied to real-world conditions. "These results provide a really robust understanding of what causes certain subduction zones to produce very gold-rich ore ...

A global reanalysis of both short- and long-term deformation clarifies how obliquity affects strain partitioning in convergent plate boundaries.

In a recent paper published in National Science Review, a jointed team of scholars from China and UK has made significant ...
