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.

The planet's inner core was previously thought of as a hard, solid sphere. But a new study has found that its edges are softer than realized and actually changing shape as they press against the ...

Located 3,000 miles below the Earth’s surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. It's believed to play an important role in maintaining the planet’s ...

The next layer is the mantle, which makes up most of Earth's volume and is composed of dense, semi-solid rock. Then there is the outer core, made of liquid metal, and the inner core, a solid ball of ...

Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic ...

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

Well, the verdict is in. The Moon is not made of green cheese after all.

Deep within Earth’s mantle lie two enormous, continent-sized structures known as LLVPs. Scientists once believed these ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that the Moon has a solid inner core with a density comparable to iron, reshaping our ...

He and his colleagues report the finding today in Nature Geoscience. Earth’s inner core is surrounded by an outer core, and the interface between the two, around 5,100 kilometres below the ...

But a new study has found that its edges are softer than realized and actually changing shape as they press against the liquid iron and nickel in Earth’s outer core. “The molten outer core is ...
