Watch the fascinating processes through which energy travels across the Earth, atmosphere, and even into space. Energy ...

The seafloor is far thinner than the bulky landmass, and temperature from within Earth is “quenched” by the enormous volume ...

A recent study published in Communications Earth & Environment has unveiled an extraordinary discovery: the solid rock deep ...

The Earth’s mantle is a vast layer of hot rock beneath our feet that plays a crucial role in everything from volcanic ...

A groundbreaking study by ETH Zurich reveals that solid rock in Earth's D" layer, located deep within the mantle, can move ...

In the 1990s, seismologists discovered two hot zones within Earth’s mantle: one under most of Africa, Spain, and part of the Atlantic; the other under the Pacific Ocean.

Mantle plumes are one of the most dynamic geologic processes on Earth. As their name suggests, these plumes move hot rock near the core-mantle boundary toward the surface, creating new landmasses ...

The high temperature of the LLVPs, and their positioning in the deep mantle on each side of the planet, means that they affect how heat is extracted from the Earth's core.

Deeper earthquakes, originating from within the Earth’s mantle, showed little connection to solar heat. But shallow earthquakes—which can be extremely destructive—appeared influenced by ...

The D'' layer of the mantle flows in a solid state due to post-perovskite alignment, which accelerates seismic waves by 7%.
