Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, shifting tectonic plates—these are all signs that our planet is alive. But what is revealed ...

The only adequate mechanisms for continental drift which have yet been suggested are based on the activity of convection currents in the Earth's mantle.

The solidification of the outer core releases heat which drives convection currents in the outer core that helps to generate Earth's magnetic field. The swirling motion of the outer core generates ...

The Earth is made up of different layers: Therefore, instead of tectonic plates moving because of the convection currents, evidence suggests it is the plates that drive the convection. Slab pull ...

It took 250 years for the Laschamps reversal to take place and it stayed in the unusual orientation for about 440 years. At ...

Earth's solid surface, or lithosphere, extends more than a hundred miles into the planet. It's broken into large chunks, and the convection currents of molten rock below exert pressure on these ...

The crust of volcanically active Venus could be churning with convection currents just like the Earth's mantle. This is the conclusion of researchers from the Washington University in St. Louis ...

These polygons are formed by slow convection currents in a 4 km-thick layer of solid nitrogen ice. "Pluto is probably only the second planetary body in the solar system, other than Earth ...

Convection currents in the Earth cause whole continents to move. A convection current in air can be demonstrated using the following apparatus. A burning splint or piece of rope is blown out so ...

This current plays a critical role in Earth’s climate system by ... fromAntarctica’s ice sheet is disrupting the normal ...

A spectacular breakthrough in geoscience shows that our planet is in motion even at a depth of 3000 kilometres. Cross-section ...
