Why Isn't Mount Denali a Volcano?
Alaska has the most volcanoes out of all the US states, but researchers think they don't have enough. Here's the weird science behind looking for Alaska's volcanoes, and what we've learned about volcanism along the way.

Will Pangea Form Again? The Next Supercontinent on Earth
Did you know that in about 200 million years, Earth is due for another supercontinent? What exactly that supercontinent will look like, though, depends on a lot of geological factors, and is harder to guess at than you might think!...

The Plate Tectonics Revolution: Crash Course Geography
Today we're going to tell the story of a quiet revolution in the 1960s that shifted our entire understanding of how the Earth works. We currently believe that the Earth's broken outer shell rises from the mantle and folds back in - kind...
