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

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

We live on the outermost layer, the crust, which is between 15 and 44 miles thick. Underneath the crust is the mantle, an 1,800-mile-thick layer of semisolid silicate materials ranging in ...

Deeper in the mantle, compositional stratification has been proposed, either just above the core–mantle boundary as a thick undulating layer, or in isolated piles 6.

The Earth is made of different layers: the core, mantle and crust. Plate tectonic theory shows that the crust of the Earth is split into plates (pieces of the Earth’s crust). The movement of ...
