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 ...

Rising concentrations of greenhouse gases decrease the atmosphere's ability to devour space junk, a new study finds.

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 ...

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

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

Over time, Earth's interior—which is made mostly of silicate rocks and metals—differentiated into four layers. At the planet's heart lies the inner core, a solid sphere of iron and nickel that ...

By the time of the moon-forming impact, the Earth was already separated into these rock and metal layers. However, the intense force and heat of the impact re-melted the proto-Earth, re-mixing the ...

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 ...

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

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

An international team led by researchers in Japan and Europe has discovered a new multi-planet system around a Sun-like star, ...
