Seismic imaging has revealed two colossal regions deep within Earth’s mantle that could reshape our understanding of the ...

An illustrative diagram showing the ancient subducted 'slab' the team resolved at present day. It has a direct impact on the large-scale lowermost mantle structures known as 'superplumes'.

The surface of the Earth is a bumpy place, with terrain made up of smooth ocean floors to jagged mountain peaks and everything in between. But according to a new study, that's nothing compared to ...

A diagram showing how Earth's crust and upper mantle (together known as the lithosphere) could be dripping into the mantle due to the Farallon slab. (Image credit: Hua et al. Nature Geoscience (2025)) ...

Because of Mantle’s requests to keep it in its existing condition, the home is a time capsule. Located at 319 South Quincy Street, the Mantle family purchased the property in 1934, and it ...

Mantle waves buoy continents upward and bedeck them with diamonds The waves may explain the origin of dramatic plateaus far from tectonic plate boundaries ...

Researchers created a seismic map of Earth's interior beneath the southeastern Pacific Ocean and discovered an ancient slab of oceanic crust that appears to be stuck midway through the mantle.

Humans might not have ever reached the Earth's mantle, but they've gone deep. Here are some of the deepest man-made holes in the world.

This signal diminishes with time owing to progressive mixing-in to the deep mantle of PGE-enriched cosmic material that the Earth accreted as the ‘late veneer’ during the Early Archaean (4.5 ...

The Composition of the Lower Mantle and Core / William F McDonough -- Metal-Silicate Partitioning of Siderophile Elements and Core-Mantle Segregation / Kevin Righter -- Mechanisms and Geochemical ...

Recent seismological discoveries have indicated that the Earth's core–mantle boundary is far more complex than a simple boundary between the molten outer core and the silicate mantle.
