These ancient buried "super-continents"—known to scientists as large low-seismic-velocity provinces (LLSVPs)—were found ...

A new way of measuring structures deep inside Earth has highlighted numerous previously unknown blobs within our planet's ...

Over 25 years ago, researchers discovered that some of these deep Earth reverberations pointed to the existence of two ...

The Earth’s mantle, a massive layer of rock beneath the crust, is the “engine” of plate tectonics. Stretching nearly 2,900 kilometers deep, it shapes much of the planet’s geology and ...

Researchers from Utrecht University have found in a study that there are two colossal peaks that reach heights of around 620 ...

Geophysicists find areas that resemble the results of tectonic plate collisions — far from any area of such activity.

Their existence contradicts the common assertion the Earth’s mantle is well-mixed, suggesting our models are wrong.

Continent-size islands deep inside Earth's mantle could be more than a billion years old, a new study finds.

The study of Structural Geology and Tectonics concerns the deformation of the Earth's crust and mantle. The scale of observation can be from the submicroscopic level to a mountain chain like the Rocky ...
