Scientists from France and Australia have uncovered compelling evidence that could help predict the world’s next major ...
Geologists from The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a breakthrough in understanding how the Earth’s early continents ...
If this “Dani plume” truly is a ghost plume, it would be the first one ever detected, and could possibly lead scientists to re-examine just how much heat is moving from the core-mantle ...
Gigantic hidden fortresses discovered 1,800 miles underground in Earth's mantle, rewrite how the planet's interior works.
Scientists have identified mysterious 'blobs' about 1,200 miles under the Earth's surface that could cause massive volcanic eruptions.
The latest research also strengthens the case made in previous work that some mantle plumes incorporate material from Earth’s core, said the University of Copenhagen’s Waterton.
A massive, slow-moving heat anomaly is rising beneath the surface of New England, and it’s challenging long-held assumptions ...
The latest research also strengthens the case made in previous work that some mantle plumes incorporate material from Earth’s core, said the University of Copenhagen’s Waterton.
As meteorites bombarded one another in Earth’s early history, a reservoir of these precious metals developed when the core formed about 4.5 billion years ago.
