"Our results represent the most globally complete understanding of recent lunar tectonism to date," Nypaver said. "The ...

Researchers have uncovered more than a thousand previously unknown tectonic ridges across the Moon’s dark plains, showing the ...

Planetary scientists have produced the first global map of small mare ridges on the Moon, adding new evidence that the lunar surface has been reshaped in geologically recent times by tectonic forces ...

We tend to think earthquakes are predominantly driven by deep-Earth forces. But in Kenya’s Lake Turkana Rift, researchers recently found that as surface water levels dropped roughly 100 to 150 meters ...

Scientists have produced the first global map and analysis of small mare ridges (SMRs) on the moon, a characteristic geological feature of tectonic activity. Published in The Planetary Science Journal ...

Europa might not be the best place to look for alien life in the solar system after all. A new study modeling what the floor of the Jupiter moon's hidden ocean is like concluded that tectonic activity ...

Does our Moon exhibit recent tectonic activity? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the potential for our Moon ...
