A groundbreaking study suggests Venus is not geologically dormant. Hot mantle plumes may be actively deforming their surface, reshaping mysterious coronae formations.

Venus has some strange volcanoes that are flat at the top. Scientists studied one dome and think they have found the answer ...

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

The research supports the argument that Venus’ tectonics are active today, he says. What’s more, the demonstrated ability of computer simulations to predict what spacecraft may observe will be a boon ...

It appears that the lithosphere, which is the rocks on the outside of the world, has a pretty significant role to play in why ...

A new study suggests the planet’s iconic domes owe their strange shape to both thick lava and a flexible surface.

New research confirms Venus has active mantle plumes shaping its crust, showing it's geologically alive like early Earth.

A study suggests that Venus' volcanic "pancake domes" push the planet's crust down, forming bulges toward the surface. This ...

Traces of ruthenium in Hawaiian lava reveal long-suspected core–mantle leakage.

Scientists confirm Zealandia, Earth's eighth continent, submerged almost two million square miles, with only 5% above water.

Long before the Great Lakes, a rift nearly tore North America in half—leaving behind Lake Superior’s depth, copper-rich ridges, and stories still told today.

Earth's rocky crust is made up of massive plates ... processes like metamorphism and recycling are actively shaping the Venusian crust today—and reveal how such activity may be tied to volcanic ...
