De-Graft: I’m in Wales, finding out about the country’s tallest mountain - Snowdon. It takes a good few hours to walk up and down it. But thankfully there’s a train you can catch too.

The highest mountain ranges are created by tectonic plates pushing together and forcing the ground up where they meet. This is how the mountains of the Himalayas in Asia were formed. The Andes are ...

Where plates serving landmasses collide, the crust crumples and buckles into mountain ranges. India and Asia crashed about 55 million years ago, slowly giving rise to the Himalaya, the highest ...

New Curtin University research has revealed that the Ninetyeast Ridge—the Earth's longest straight underwater mountain ...

Whenever someone is asked about the tallest mountain, the usual answer is Mount Everest, but it is nothing compared to other ...

Earth's continents are slowly moving across the planet's surface due to plate tectonics, culminating in regions of crustal ...

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of plates, which have moved throughout Earth's history. The theory explains the how and why behind mountains, volcanoes ...

Seamounts are underwater volcanoes found in every single ocean. They are caused by 'hotspots' beneath Earth's surface, in ...

Plate tectonics is a theory that explains how Earth’s lithosphere—its upper mantle and crust—is split into sections called plates, which move. These movements create mountains, volcanoes and ...

Earth's surface is a turbulent place. Mountains rise, continents merge and split, and earthquakes shake the ground. All of ...

Massive crustal plates shift, creating mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. This process, known as plate tectonics, may be the very reason life thrives on Earth. Uniquely, Earth is the ...
