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 ...

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

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.

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

Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As for forecasting them, however, there's still much to learn in order to ...

This movement is driven by the very slow creeping motion of Earth's mantle, called convection, which carry heat from the interior to our planet's surface. Researchers believe that convection in ...

The high temperature of the LLVPs, and their positioning in the deep mantle on each side of the planet, means that they affect how heat is extracted from the Earth's core. This impacts convection ...
