Slow-motion tectonic plate collisions force more carbon into the Earth’s interior

Scientists from Cambridge University and NTU Singapore have made an interesting discovery. They found that slow-motion collisions of massive tectonic plates inside the Earth are dragging more carbon into Earth’s interior than previously believed. Researchers say that the carbon is drawn into the planet’s interior at subduction zones where tectonic plates collide and dive into the interior of the Earth. … Continue reading
