The surprise discovery of earth’s core composition may debunk previous assumptions on the solidity of the planet.

We have been in a deep freeze for the past several weeks and people are asking, how do the honey bees survive these frigid ...

The team noticed changes at the planet's centre and the findings shed light on the role that topographical activity plays in ...

The heat from the Earth's core causes convection currents in the mantle. In this process, hot material rises, cools down as it nears the crust, and then sinks again, creating a continuous cycle ...

Volcanoes and earthquakes are both natural phenomena driven by the dynamic processes that shape Earth’s interior and surface.

Scientists have discovered two mountains which reach heights of around 620 miles (1,000km), dwarfing anything else found on the planet.

Until now, it was widely believed that the inner core was a dense ball of iron floating at the centre of the molten outer ...

Joanne Stephenson, a geophysicist at the Australian National University, clarified that the four primary layers of the Earth are the crust, the mantle, the outer core ... the planet’s rotation and ...

They move slowly on the more fluid layer beneath them, the asthenosphere. Convection currents in Earth's mantle drive the movement of tectonic plates. Tectonic plates interact at their boundaries ...
