Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus's surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research based on data gathered more than 30 years ago by NASA's Magellan mission.

far away from the usual seismic action seen at plate boundaries where earthquakes and volcanoes are common. But this new research shows that the plate isn’t as solid as once thought. It’s ...

One of the most significant recent discoveries in plate tectonics is the confirmation of the Pontus plate, which once covered 15 million square miles—about a quarter of the Pacific Ocean.
