The Earth has a layered structure made up of the core, the mantle and the crust. Different elements are present in different parts of the Earth’s structure. The crust is made from enormous ...

These findings may explain why some experimental evidence has been inconsistent with our current models of Earth's structure. The presence of an innermost layer has been suspected before ...

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.

Keep reading to learn more about Earth's different layers, its atmosphere, and what makes the "blue planet" unique. Earth is made out of different layers, and those layers get hotter and more ...

The Earth's interior is composed of four layers, three solid and one liquid—not magma but molten metal, nearly as hot as the surface of the sun. The deepest layer is a solid iron ball ...

Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating more material in some areas and less in others — almost like creating hills ...

Scientists confirm the Moon has a solid iron core, like Earth’s, with a molten outer layer. This discovery reshapes our ...

“This structure has never been observed before ... relative to WASP-121b. Earth does have a sodium layer in the upper atmosphere. WASP-121b has roughly the same mass as Jupiter but twice the ...

"Given how rare such evidence is due to [Earth's] geological recycling processes, this is a major breakthrough in ...
