A new tectonic plate boundary could be forming in southern Africa
Gases collected from boiling mineral springs in Zambia contain the chemical signature of having come directly from the ...
Isotope analysis of gas from geothermal springs in Zambia could show that a new continental rift is forming, scientists say.
If this continues to develop, this rift could grow into a new tectonic plate boundary—splitting the African continent in half ...

New plate boundary could be forming in southern Africa as a rift breaks through the Earth’s crust
A region known as the Kafue Rift could be the site of the world’s newest plate boundary, as the once stable African tectonic ...
Have tectonic plates changed speed over the last 3 billion years? The answer has far-reaching implications, as plate tectonics affected everything from the supply of vital nutrients for early life to ...
Researchers used small zircon crystals to unlock information about magmas and plate tectonic activity in early Earth. The research provides chemical evidence that plate tectonics was most likely ...
Helium-rich gases rising through hot springs could mark the early stages of continental breakup in southern Africa.
