It is widely theorized that this increase also marks the transition from an immobile crust and mantle to a period of more volatile plate movement. The new study, which examined igneous zircon and ...

Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic ...

Scientists now know how to drill deep enough to tap into an energy supply that would power the world for more than 20 million ...

Deep within Earth’s mantle lie two enormous, continent-sized structures known as LLVPs. Scientists once believed these ...

Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As ...

Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.

Glas-Col's latest version offers safety and convenience never before available in a multi-place heating mantle. Two Series RL control choices are available: percentage timer or proportional voltage.

Waves in the underlying layer known as the mantle can scour off the keels of continents, buoying their surfaces upward to form prominent landforms far from any active plate boundaries, researchers ...
