The mantle transition zone (MTZ), which occurs 410–670 kilometers below Earth's surface, may store several oceans' worth of water. This water, which is carried to such depths by subducting tectonic ...

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

Shatter cones in rocks in the Pilbara craton provide unequivocal evidence for oldest known impact crater on Earth, which struck ... A low-velocity anomaly in the upper mantle beneath the Coral ...

Deep beneath the Earth’s surface, researchers have uncovered striking new evidence of ancient seafloor buried for millions of ...

A breakthrough study has provided the most detailed 3D look yet at the inner workings of the Tonga Subduction Zone, where ...

On a dynamic planet like Earth, it can be easy for drivers of change to ... especially for shallow earthquakes originating in the planet's upper crust, rather than deeper, mantle-driven rumbles.

Incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may improve seismic forecasts and save lives.

The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect seismic activity, however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth ...

Some studies suggest that tidal forces or electromagnetic effects could interact with the Earth’s crust, core, and mantle, potentially playing a ... “That makes sense, since heat and water mostly ...

"That makes sense, since heat and water mostly affect the upper layers of the Earth's crust," said Junqueira Saldanha. The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth ...

Another discovery near the Earth crust that has caught people’s attention The ... As the lower plate retreats into the Earth’s mantle, the upper plate moves forward along the surface. The region ...
