"These findings will contribute to a better understanding of mantle convection and plate tectonics, and, therefore, phenomena we experience at the surface like earthquakes and volcanism," said Claire ...

Geochemical analyses of Martian meteorites provide additional support for the theory of mantle convection. These meteorites offer clues about Mars’ thermal history and composition, further solidifying ...

Therefore, they do not take part in mantle convection (the flow in the Earth's mantle). Thus, contrary to what the geography books teach us, the mantle cannot be well-mixed either. Talavera-Soza ...

Geophysicists have found sunken worlds in the Earth’s mantle — the planet’s bulky middle layer — that, according to both earlier imaging and understanding of plate tectonics, simply shouldn’t be there ...

Mickey Mantle’s rookie card arrived a year before in 1951 Bowman. Even though the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle is his most popular card it’s not deserving of the rookie card designation.

Potential patches of Earth's ancient crust, sometimes called "sunken worlds," may have just been discovered deep within the mantle, thanks to a new way of mapping the inside of our planet.

Overall, Professors Sun and Tkalčić determine that mantle convection is the primary cause of Mars's unusual dichotomy, not giant impacts as the alternative hypothesis suggests. But their ...

The Himalayan mountain range was formed after the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates collided around 50 million years ago. How does their movement continue to impact the region?
