Scientists have discovered two continent-sized structures deep within Earth, near the core-mantle boundary. These 'blobs,' identified throu...

New research reveals that columns of hot rock, dubbed ghost plumes, rise from deep within Earth's mantle but often disappear before reachin...

Mysterious plume-like structures deep within the Greenland Ice Sheet, observed for over a decade, are now explained by thermal convection. ...

Earth's magnetic field, vital for protection, is shaped by two massive structures deep within the planet. These regions, located beneath Af...

Scientists have finally explained the Indian Ocean Geoid Low, a massive gravity anomaly south of India. New research reveals this 'gravity ...

Earth's inner core, once rotating faster than the surface, has begun to slow, impacting day length by fractions of a second. This subtle sh...

Scientists have demystified astonishing natural events once thought impossible. From oxygen forming in deep oceans without sunlight to sand...

Scientists now understand why seismic waves speed up near Earth's core. Extreme pressure and temperature cause solid mantle rock to flow sl...

Beneath Earth's surface, powerful internal forces continuously shape landscapes, a fact often overlooked. Deep lithospheric processes and m...

New research reveals that the sudden speed-up of seismic waves in Earth's deep D″ layer is caused by the texture of minerals, not just thei...

A decades-old mystery of a gravity hole in the Indian Ocean is solved. Scientists found ancient ocean remnants sank deep into Earth's mantl...

New research reveals that Earth's core is leaking gold. Precious metals are moving from the core to the mantle and crust. Scientists discov...

A recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters provides new insights into the Martian dichotomy, a striking geological difference...

Scientists have developed a set of cloud-based virtual globes that can let you visualise, with unprecedented speed and ease of use, how Ear...

Earth's inner core was formed 1-1.5 billion years ago as it "froze" from the surrounding molten iron outer core, scientists from University...

Team found that the small-scale convective currents beneath the plate correlated with seismic events above in a predictable way.

The study also indicates that the same amount of water that currently fills the Pacific Ocean could be buried deep inside the planet right ...
