Could the destiny of continents and even the demise of the dinosaurs have been determined by monstrous, slow-moving BLOBS hiding thousands of kilometers under our feet? For decades, geoscientists have ...

A rare Martian meteorite has revealed complex volcanic processes and mantle heterogeneity on Mars, offering new clues to the planet’s magmatic evolution and thermal history. In a groundbreaking ...

By simulating the movement of two continent-sized Big Lower-Mantle Basal Structures, or BLOBs, researchers may have uncovered ...

Pillars of hot rock appear to connect continental-size moving blobs at the bottom of Earth's mantle to giant volcanic eruptions at its surface.

The impact that carved out the moon's huge South Pole-Aitken basin may explain the puzzling differences between the lunar ...
