That’s the antipode, or opposite point on Earth’s surface, from my town. But I only had a garden spade to move the earth.

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 ...

3. Explain that the Earth is made of three main layers: crust, mantle, and core. Draw them on the board using colored chalk. Explain that the core is divided into two layers: solid inner core and ...

Boffins have found evidence that the Earth's inner core has another smaller core within it. Conventional knowledge suggests our planet has four main layers; the crust (where we live), the mantle ...

It's the thinnest of Earth's three main layers, yet humans have never drilled all the way through it. As you descend, you'd soon reach the depth of the Paris Catacombs, the deepest metro station ...

The Earth is almost a sphere. These are its main layers, starting with the outermost: crust - relatively thin and rocky mantle - has the properties of a solid, but can flow very slowly outer core ...

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

The Earth is made of different layers: the core, mantle and crust. Plate tectonic theory shows that the crust of the Earth is split into plates (pieces of the Earth’s crust). The movement of ...
