In groundbreaking research published in Seismological Research Letters, a team from The Australian National University (ANU) ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, ...

Although this inner core is white hot ... The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth. It is the familiar landscape on which we live: rocks, soil, and seabed. It ranges from about five miles ...

The record-breaking mission offers an unprecedented opportunity to study the geology of our planet’s largest layer.

Hold onto your sense of balance. Scientists have found fresh proof that Earth doesn't just drift through space — sometimes, ...

The outer core is liquid iron and nickel and generates ... The mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth and is made of semi-solid rock that moves very slowly, like a liquid.

Then, by 3 million meters down, you'd reach Earth's third layer, the outer core. Unlike Earth's crust and mantle, the core is made of iron and nickel. Temperatures here are the same as the surface ...

"Our new results suggest that for most of Earth's history, convection in the mantle was stratified into two distinct layers ... signal comes from Earth's core as opposed to the deep mantle.

Remnants of a liquid layer of magma near Earth's core, formed in the first few hundred million years of the planet's history, may still persist today as odd anomalies in the mantle.
