Scientists have discovered hidden treasures in the Earth's mantle. Hidden deep within Earth's mantle are two colossal ...

Continent-size islands deep inside Earth's mantle could be more than a billion ... Another feature, such as a change in composition, must be responsible for the unexpected result, the team suspected.

New research shows that meteoroid impacts on Mars generate seismic signals that travel much deeper than previously thought, ...

These zones, where seismic waves behave differently, suggest the presence of materials with unusual temperature or composition. These findings challenge our understanding of mantle dynamics. An ...

Deeply hidden in Earth's mantle there are two huge 'islands' with the size of a continent. New research shows that these regions are not only hotter than the surrounding graveyard of cold sunken ...

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

The mystery of two "super-continent"-sized structures buried deep in the Earth's mantle has produced a new twist after scientists got a closer look at their composition, suggesting they might be even ...
