Venus—a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes—may be even more geologically active near its surface than ...

New rock and paleomagnetic research give evidence for prolonged heating during the Cambrian-Ordovician tectonic consolidation of West Gondwanaland.

We still don't fully understand what triggers lightning. A new study suggests that showers of cosmic rays may be the missing ...

Its loss from magma suggests that the planet has a deep reservoir of primordial helium, and the new compounds suggest that Earth’s iron-rich core could hold some of that helium. But the team ...

The core's structure mirrors that of Earth's, with a fluid outer layer ... around 3.2 billion years ago. As magnetic fields are generated by core convection, understanding the Moon’s core ...

A new study presents a compelling new model for the formation of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes -- planets that are 1 to 4 times the size of Earth and among the most common in our galaxy.

or how the Earth's mantle influences convection in the Earth's core and thus the Earth's magnetic field. The dynamics of ice sheets and ice shelves in a warming climate is another field in which ...

These shock waves are born in plasma — a gas of charged particles that can conduct electricity and interact with magnetic fields ... stream smashes into the earth’s atmosphere, it breaks ...
