To find out, the team used whole-Earth oscillation data from 104 past earthquakes to create a detailed 3D model of the upper ...

Now, researchers have connected 49 seismic events to impact craters, proving that meteorite strikes leave distinct seismic ...

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

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 ...

Potential patches of Earth's ancient crust, sometimes called "sunken worlds," may have just been discovered deep within the mantle, thanks to a new way of mapping the inside of our planet.

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.

Many seismologists and researchers have long believed the Earth possesses a fast flowing and well-mixed mantle. But that theory may require some revisions according to new findings from ...

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