Scientists have been baffled to discover solid rock flowing 1,700 miles (2,700km) beneath the Earth's surface.

Deep beneath our feet, around 2,700 kilometers below Earth’s surface, lies a region that has puzzled scientists for over five ...

ETH Zurich scientists confirmed that solid rock flows deep inside Earth, solving a decades-old mystery about seismic waves.

Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels have increased more or less in parallel over the past 540 million years, suggesting ...

Convection is a fundamental process in the atmosphere and oceans that plays a vital role in shaping the weather we experience every day.

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

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found.

On Earth, convection currents churn through the mantle (the layer that lies beneath the crust), causing tectonic plates to move around the planet's surface and triggering geological activity like ...

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 ...

Images from NASA’s New Horizons mission revealed remarkable polygonal patterns on Pluto’s Sputnik Planitia region that resemble plate boundaries on Earth. These polygons are formed by slow convection ...

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 ...
