The Earth’s interior is far more complex than what we are taught in school. Instead of just three layers- crust, mantle, and core- the Earth is made up of multiple intricate layers, each with ...

Using over 40 years of seismic data, geologists have mapped the movement of these deep layers. Their findings reveal a vast shear zone where parts of California’s heavy, igneous crust appear to ...

These results suggest the existence of a process recycling marine carbon into Earth's mantle, which could contribute to ...

At the centre of our planet is a solid mass of nickel and iron, crushed down by gravity into a sphere roughly 2,400 kilometres wide. This solid core is surrounded by an outer layer of liquid iron and ...

If the U.S. could tap into just 2 percent of the geothermal power beneath Earth’s crust, it could supply more than 2,000 times our total annual energy consumption.

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found. The elements emerge when ocean islands form.
