These shifts, detected by orbiting satellites, hint at dynamic processes thousands of kilometers beneath the surface that ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history. Our history. Research shows there are little-known ...

When Earth first took shape more than 4.5 billion years ago, it set aside its most valuable riches for its heart. As the planet melted and separated into layers, dense metals like gold, platinum, and ...

Two enormous, supercontinent-sized 'islands' buried deep within the mantle have been revealed to have fundamental differences—contrary to previous assumptions—and they may even lead to Earth's ...

A wealth of new information about Earth’s inner core has surfaced in recent months. Scientists now have evidence that the planet’s innermost layer is changing shape. Scientists who just months ago ...

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...

Long-lost remnants of tectonic plates have been discovered sunken deep inside the Earth's mantle. These plate remains were found lurking underneath the center of other continental plates, far from ...

According to the DOE’s recent budget request, though, E3SM will continue to exist, but seemingly without one of its primary ...

The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed. When you ...
