Deep beneath Earth’s surface, researchers have discovered an ancient seafloor buried for millions of years. This unexpected ...

According to current scientific theories, the anomalous material in the lower mantle, about 600 miles (1,000km) beneath the water, 'should not be found' there. Described as a 'major mystery', the ...

The two continent-sized provinces have been known since the 1970s, but it’s only in the last few years we’ve started to ...

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

A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than scientists thought.

Indian scientists have uncovered the possible cause behind the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), the lowest geoid anomaly on ...

"Our new results suggest that for most of Earth's history, convection in the mantle was stratified into two distinct layers, namely upper and lower mantle regions that were isolated from each ...

Crystal structures of major mineral phases composing the Earth's deep mantle, (Mg,Fe)SiO3 bridgmanite (Brg), its high-pressure phase post-perovskite (PPv), CaSiO3 perovskite, and (Mg,Fe ...

Here different colors trace different components of Gaia and Theia. The lower mantle of Gaia, denoted by the dashed circle with a radius of 0.8 Earth radii (RE), is only marginally contaminated by ...
