The 390-million-year-old forest landscape, archived within the Eifelian Hangman Sandstone Formation of Somerset and Devon in England, is roughly 4 million years older than the previous record holder.
Scientists have discovered that the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history took place 7300 years ago in the sea off Japan.
Falling pieces of space debris could be altering the stratosphere and negatively impacting our climate, new research suggests.
Study reveals that deep-sea currents have been weakening, strengthening during 2.4m-year climate cycles
For a quiet, dusty lump of a planet we see today, Mars has had a surprisingly violent history, one that could reveal some clues about Earth.
A team of geoscientists from the University of Toronto is shedding new light on the century-old model of plate tectonics, which suggests the plates covering the ocean floors are rigid as they move across the Earth.
Encased inside some of the oldest rocks on Earth are previously overlooked nanocrystals that tell a story about how life might have emerged.
Researchers have detected a cluster of lost 2,500-year-old cities at the foothills of the Andes in the Amazon rainforest.
A volcanic eruption that has engulfed homes in an Icelandic fishing port confirms that a long-dormant faultline running under the country has woken up, threatening to belch out lava with little warning for years to come.
India is changing drastically under the Earth's surface, as a new study has revealed that the Indian Continental Plate could be splitting in two.
A team led by geoscientists Yachong An and Hao Ding of Wuhan University have determined that Earth's inner core wobbles with a periodicity of 8.5 years.
The Earth would only have to heat up by a few dozen degrees to spur runaway warming, making it as inhospitable as Venus, a planet whose average surface temperature is around 464 degrees Celsius, according to NASA.
Made some 3,000 years ago, the Mesopotamian bricks contain grains of iron oxide that, to the right interpreter, reveal fascinating changes in the magnetic field that runs through and envelops Earth in a protective barrier.
A study conducted by Hungarian scientists sheds light on the unpredictability and potential dangers of long dormant volcanoes.
The location of the north magnetic pole has moved by about 965 kilometers since the first measurement was taken in 1831. This could indicate the beginning of a field reversal, but scientists really can’t tell with less than 200 years of data.
