The tectonic plates that form the Earth's surface are like puzzle pieces that are in constant, very slow motion - on average, they move only up to around 10 centimeters a year. But these puzzle pieces don't quite fit together: there are zones on one plate that end up plunging under another - the so-called subduction zones, central to the dynamics of the planet. This movement is slow, but it can ... more |

The Sun's atmosphere, or corona, is beaming with activity. Solar flares and coronal mass injections send high-energy particles out into space and the corona constantly releases particles known as the solar wind.
Just as winds on Earth vary, the solar winds departing the Sun travel at different velocities - from a mere 700,000 mph, called slow solar winds, to the fast winds travelling up to ... more |
