We finally know where two giant blobs in Earth's middle layer came from — and they're a mismatched pair. These strange regions in Earth's mantle, known as "large low velocity provinces" (LLVPs), are ...

It’s not much of a stretch to say that Earth’s inner structure, especially the innermost spherical core, has stupefied ...

Scientists now know how to drill deep enough to tap into an energy supply that would power the world for more than 20 million ...

The new layer is located around 100 miles beneath the surface and appears to extend below much of the Earth’s outer crust. Learning more about it could help decipher the mysteries of plate ...

Earth is made out of different layers, and those layers get hotter and more pressurized the deeper you go. The first layer is the crust, a thin outer shell that extends about 18 miles (30 km ...

Delamination is a geological process where dense layers of Earth’s crust separate and sink into the mantle. This typically occurs in areas where crustal material, rich in heavy minerals like ...

The Earth is made of different layers: the core, mantle and crust. Plate tectonic theory shows that the crust of the Earth is split into plates (pieces of the Earth’s crust). The movement of ...

The Earth is made up of different layers. The outermost is the crust, which is where we humans stand. The next layer is the mantle, which makes up most of Earth's volume and is composed of dense ...

The layer acts as a skin for the Earth, protecting landscapes and reducing ... dirt-dwelling organisms that form a distinct crust on the top of soil in arid landscapes," said Knowable Magazine.

Led by Curtin University geologists Chris Kirkland and Tim Johnson, a research team unearthed this primeval crater beneath ...
