Deep inside Earth, far below the crust and oceans, lie vast hidden regions that many geophysicists suspect could have shaped ...

About 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) below our feet, two enormous patches of strange rock sit above Earth’s core. New ...

A Rutgers researcher and collaborators have linked unusual geological anomalies to Earth’s molten origins and its unique habitability. For many years, researchers have struggled to understand two ...

A new study suggests that structures at the core-mantle boundary are remnants of an early basal magma ocean linked to Earth's ...

Scientists may finally be closing in on the origins of two colossal, mysterious structures buried nearly 1,800 miles inside ...

Imagine Earth as an onion with multiple layers, each with its own unique properties and characteristics. Delving into the layers of the Earth not only helps us understand our own planet, but also ...

Earth's inner layers have just got a bit more complicated, with scientists discovering a whole new inner core within the center of the planet. Research released on February 21 in the journal Nature ...

There is more to Earth than what we can see on the surface. Both the exterior and interior regions of the planet are made up of many layers with various properties. These layers are formed because of ...

NASA detects first “magnetic switchback” near Earth: an energetic change in your space shield that reveals new solar risks.

While this new layer is difficult to observe, its existence may point to an unknown, dramatic event in Earth's history. Investigating the structure of the inner core can help us understand more about ...

There is more to the Earth than what we can see on the surface. In fact, if you were able to hold the Earth in your hand and slice it in half, you'd see that it has multiple layers. But of course, the ...
