Seismic waves passing through Earth's inner core have revealed much about our planet's iron center: how it's changing shape, ...

Earth's core might be layered like an onion, according to a new study that looked at the anomalous nature of waved in the ...

Around 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) beneath our feet, there's a mysterious band of material called the D" layer, which has long fascinated scientists for its lumpiness. Thin in patches and thick ...

Water leaking into the Earth may be wrapping the core in crystals, a study has suggested. The study may help explain a weird area in the outer core that has long puzzled scientists. One expert said ...

Researchers find that Earth’s orbital rhythms influenced sediment and organic preservation in Jurassic shale deposits.

A new study confirms that Earth's inner core has been rotating more slowly than usual since 2010. This mysterious "backtracking" could also end up slightly altering the planet's overall rotation, ...

Deep within Earth, there lies a mysterious layer called the D" layer. Located roughly 3,000 kilometers down, this zone sits just above the boundary between the planet's molten outer core and its solid ...

A new study has revealed that water from the Earth's surface can penetrate deep into the planet, altering the composition of the outermost region of the metallic liquid core and creating a distinct, ...

The Earth with the upper mantle revealed. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered a previously unknown layer of partly molten rock in a key region just below the tectonic ...

thermal characteristics (temperature changes), chemical composition, movement, and density. Each of the layers are bounded by "pauses" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics, chemical ...

A dense Arctic bonebed shows marine life and ocean food webs recovered far faster than scientists once believed after mass ...
