Seismic waves passing through Earth's inner core have revealed much about our planet's iron center: how it's changing shape, reversing its spin, is weirdly textured, and contains an unusual state of ...

Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of drills or submersibles, Earth hides a solid metal heart that behaves in ways geophysicists have struggled to explain. New experiments now suggest that a ...

The team analyzed borehole data from several wells using natural gamma-ray logs, core observations, and geochemical ...

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 ...

The ozone layer is a part of Earth’s atmosphere that captures some of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light emissions. When the ozone layer is compromised, its ability to absorb radiation weakens, allowing ...

The same phenomenon that causes aurorae — the magical curtains of green light often visible from the polar regions of the Earth — causes mesospheric ozone layer depletion. This depletion could have ...

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 ...

Far below your feet, nearly 1,800 miles beneath oceans and continents, Earth carries two massive scars from its violent youth. They are so large they rival continents in size, yet no human will ever ...

Scientists used satellite data to confirm that Earth's crust is "dripping" into the mantle beneath Turkey's Central Anatolian ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Now, a new study seeking to explain anomalous data suggests Earth's core may be layered like an onion. Scientists in Germany ...
