A new geological study sets the record straight on the formation of the Andes mountain range. Research published in Earth and Planetary Physics indicates that the main episodes of collision between ...
Researchers describe zircons from the Andes mountains of Patagonia. Although the zircons formed when tectonic plates were colliding, they have a chemical signature associated with when the plates were ...

Scientists found a vast magma body under the Andes that may be slowly lifting the mountains
In the high Andes region of South America lies the Altiplano-Puna plateau, a harsh, windswept terrain reminiscent of something found on another world rather than being part of our very own. Second ...
High mountains, high diversity: For how long have the Andes controlled South America's biodiversity?
With the aid of stable hydrogen isotopes in volcanic glass, an international research team, including Senckenberg geoscientist Prof. Dr. Andreas Mulch, has studied the uplift history of the Andes ...
Scientists use tiny minerals called zircons as geologic timekeepers. Often no bigger than a grain of sand, these crystals record chemical signatures of the geological environment where they formed. In ...
