That’s the antipode, or opposite point on Earth’s surface, from my town. But I only had a garden spade to move the earth.

The Earth's interior is composed of four layers, three solid and one liquid—not magma but molten metal, nearly as hot as the surface of the sun. The deepest layer is a solid iron ball ...

The End-Permian mass extinction killed an estimated 80% of life on Earth, but new research suggests that plants might have ...

The Earth is made up of different layers: Therefore, instead of tectonic plates moving because of the convection currents, evidence suggests it is the plates that drive the convection. Slab pull ...

"Given how rare such evidence is due to [Earth's] geological recycling processes, this is a major breakthrough in ...

As researchers continue to study this hidden water and its effects on the planet, we may uncover even more secrets about how ...

Led by Curtin University geologists Chris Kirkland and Tim Johnson, a research team unearthed this primeval crater beneath ...

The Earth has a layered structure made up of the core, the mantle and the crust. Different elements are present in different parts of the Earth’s structure. The crust is made from enormous ...

Keep reading to learn more about Earth's different layers, its atmosphere, and what makes the "blue planet" unique. Earth is made out of different layers, and those layers get hotter and more ...

Millions of years ago, our Solar System traveled through a densely populated galactic region and was exposed to increased interstellar dust.

The find could hold implications for understanding the origin of life here on Earth.
