Researchers Discover 'Ghost Plume' Rising From Earth's Mantle, Flowing Heat Shows No Volcanic Signs The processes that take place beneath the surface of the planet are not a mystery, but they do ...

A new discovery reveals that Earth's deep D” layer flows like syrup despite being solid, reshaping our understanding of ...

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

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

For decades, scientists have suspected that large volcanic eruptions have their origins in two mysterious massive regions at ...

The are many types of fluids that flow between the deep mantle underlying Yellowstone National Park and the atmosphere above ...

This suggests that the heat flow from the core into the mantle is also higher than previously thought. Greater heat flow, in turn, increases mantle convection and accelerates the cooling of the Earth.

Changes in the Earth's surface generated by mantle convection — specifically, mantle upwelling — contributed to intraplate earthquakes, according to the study.

The key to understanding Earth's evolution is to look at how heat is conducted in the deep lower mantle -- a region some 400 to 1,800 miles (660 to 2,900 kilometers) below the surface.
