NASA’s Mars InSight has provided … well, insight, into the inner workings of the Red Planet. By monitoring “marsquakes” over the past two years the instrument has allowed scientists to measure the ...

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, researchers now argue that matter behaves in a way that does not fit ...

Far below the familiar blue of the surface oceans, geophysicists are piecing together evidence for a vast, hidden reservoir ...

Quakes on Mars have unveiled its interior to an unprecedented degree, revealing surprising details about the Red Planet's crust, mantle and core. Measurements taken by NASA's InSight (Interior ...

Scientists found rocks deep inside Earth's mantle that generate hydrogen and could reveal clues about deep energy and the ...

Earth's internal structure consists of four layers: the crust, mantle, outer core (liquid iron), and inner core (solid iron), with temperatures increasing significantly with depth, reaching values ...

A new study by the University of Liverpool, in collaboration with the Universities of Lancaster and Oslo, sheds light on a longstanding question that has puzzled earth scientists. Using previously ...

Seismic waves created by earthquakes as they travel through the planet's interior change speed and direction as they move through different materials. Things like rock type, density, and temperature ...

Earth's internal structure, comprised of a crust, mantle (including upper and lower sections with varying mineral compositions like olivine, bridgmanite, and ferropericlase), outer core (liquid iron ...

The deep part of Earth's middle layer is on the move. New research finds that the lower mantle, located between 410 miles and 621 miles (660 and 1,000 kilometers) beneath the Earth's crust, is more ...

Diamonds hitch a ride to Earth's surface inside a rare magma called kimberlite, but only if that magma stays buoyant.

A new study uses previously unavailable data to confirm a correlation between the movement of plate tectonics on the Earth's surface, the flow of mantle above the Earth's core and the rate of reversal ...
