Deep beneath our feet, approximately 2,890 kilometers underground, lies one of Earth's most mysterious regions. The boundary ...

Deep beneath your feet, far beyond where any drill can reach, something strange is hiding. Two continent-sized blobs of rock ...

An international team has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the tectonic evolution of terrestrial planets.

Atoms found deep inside our planet argue that parts of “proto-Earth,” the early version of our planet, still survive inside the mantle.

The evolution of our Earth is the story of its cooling: 4.5 billion years ago, extreme temperatures prevailed on the surface of the young Earth, and it was covered by a deep ocean of magma. Over ...

An interdisciplinary international research team has recently discovered that a massive anomaly deep within the Earth’s interior may be a remnant of the collision about 4.5 billion years ago that ...

Southwest Research Institute’s Dr. Simone Marchi collaborated on a new study finding the first geophysically plausible scenario to explain the abundance of certain precious metals — including gold and ...

This schematic illustrates the most geophysically plausible explanation for the abundance of HSE metals present in the Earth’s mantle. During the long period of bombardment, impactors would strike the ...
