Earth’s core holds key information about Earth’s formation and evolution, and it contributes to massive planetary process such as plate tectonics and geomagnetism.

Mantle plumes are important geologic processes—they interact with plate tectonics, create rich mineral deposits, and even ...

Scientists created a simulation showing that early Earth still retained chemical traces of its igneous youth, 4.5 billion years ago.
