This type of flow form of mantle convection, moves heat through Earth’s interior and reshapes how we think about the planet’s ...

Beneath Earth s surface, nearly 3,000 kilometers down, lies a mysterious layer where seismic waves speed up inexplicably. For ...

A new study, employing NASA's planetary modeling, predicts Earth's oxygen will vanish in roughly one billion years, much ...

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

A giant exoplanet is surprisingly chill given how close it is to its red dwarf star — perhaps because the star is so little.

New NASA experiments reveal that Mars formed its core much faster than Earth, thanks to molten iron and nickel sulfides ...

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

Earth’s innermost layer is a hot ... Once they knew the core’s rotation speed, they could model its position and then compare different PKIKP waves that reached the core as it revolved ...

The molten outer core is widely known to be turbulent ... By analysing hundreds of shockwaves, scientists can build up a model for the Earth's structure that would explain why the seismic data ...

“The [core’s] fluid itself flows as easily as ... and other agencies release an updated World Magnetic Model of Earth’s magnetic field, along with forecasts for the north pole into the ...

A promising model proposed in 2023 described an inner core that had previously spun faster than Earth itself but was now spinning slower. For a period, the core's rotation matched Earth's spin.
