Deep beneath Earth’s surface, hot mantle rock slowly rises, fueling massive volcanic activity, tearing continents apart, and ...

The earth’s mantle consists of an interlocking puzzle of tectonic plates. When those plates collide and one slides beneath the other, water gets pulled into the subduction zone.

An international team of scientists led by researchers from the University of Southampton has found evidence that rhythmic ...

The Earth's mantle might not always move along in lockstep with the overlying tectonic crust—as set out in science textbooks for decades—but may instead behave differently. This is the ...

The driving force behind this volcanic activity is believed to be the “Iceland Plume”—a deep, hot column of molten rock that ...

The extreme temperatures of the Earth's interior -- around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,537 Celsius) at the core -- and the accompanying crushing pressure, which is millions of times more than at ...
