Floating atop the semi-fluid asthenosphere, the Pacific Plate's not-so-rigid nature is revealed through undersea faults.
Researchers have found massive faults within the Pacific Plate, challenging our understanding of the ocean floor.
These faults stretch for hundreds of kilometers, indicating our planet's dynamic and ever-changing nature.
Learn how the plate's movements contribute to geological events, crafting a history of creation and destruction.
