Seismic waves suggest the planet's solid inner core is being pulled out of shape – and it has undergone these changes over ...

Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

Under the Pacific Ocean, hidden material was discovered in Earth’s mantle. So we have sunken, ancient worlds down there, and […] The post Underneath The Pacific Ocean, There Are Sunken Worlds In The ...

The Earth is made up of different layers: Therefore, instead of tectonic plates moving because of the convection currents ... tectonic plates sink into the mantle at subduction zones.

Two enormous continent-sized "islands" found buried deep inside the Earth's mantle are challenging ... they are not involved in the convection or flow of the mantle, meaning that the mantle ...

Therefore, they do not take part in mantle convection (the flow in the Earth's mantle). Thus, contrary to what the geography books teach us, the mantle cannot be well-mixed either. Talavera-Soza ...

The Earth has a layered structure ... Tectonic plates float on the semi-solid mantle, which moves very slowly as a result of convection currents driven by heat energy from the hot core.

Whether convection in the Earth's mantle extends through its entire depth or if the mantle is layered has long been debated. Recent research suggests that spatially and temporally intermittent or ...

Mars has northern and southern hemispheres like Earth ... more vigorous convection. "Experimental data correlating seismic quality factor with temperature suggests that the mantle beneath the ...

Like most of us, Earth has a lot going on under the surface ... “These findings will contribute to a better understanding of mantle convection and plate tectonics, and, therefore, phenomena ...
