Our planet's interior is much too deep and hot to explore with probes, so scientists rely on seismic waves to understand and ...

A new way of measuring structures deep inside Earth has highlighted numerous previously unknown blobs within our planet's ...

The Earth's interior is composed of four layers, three solid and one liquid—not magma but molten metal, nearly as hot as the surface of the sun. The deepest layer is a solid iron ball ...

Scientists have found potential remnants of Earth’s ancient crust deep within the mantle using new seismic mapping techniques ...

To learn why, where, and how earthquakes happen, you need to familiarize your students with the interior of the Earth and a model called plate tectonics. The engine behind the earthquake machine ...

Understanding Earth’s structure is key to unlocking its internal dynamics. Seismic tomography shows faster-than-normal wave ...

Scientists discovered plate anomalies in Earth's mantle using seismic wave analysis. These mysterious structures challenge ...

Scientists have identified mysterious blobs of Earth's ancient crust, or 'sunken worlds,' deep within the mantle using ...

A team of geophysicists at ETH Zurich in Switzerland has made a baffling discovery while analyzing earthquake waves to ...

A new research reveals hidden 'sunken worlds' in Earth's mantle, offering clues about ancient crust and tectonic mysteries.

Many geologists attribute the great variation in the temperature gradient to complex irregularities in the structure of the earth's crust. Some even maintain that the interior of the earth is cold ...
