Earth's core is transforming, which could affect the length of our 24-hour day, Earth’s magnetic field and more ...

Changes to the inner core has long been a topic of debate for scientists. The post Study claims Earth’s inner core less solid ...

In a nutshell Scientists have solved the mystery of how earthquakes can occur 420 miles deep inside Earth, where extreme pressure and heat should make rock flow rather than break. The key is a mineral ...

Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. Until now the inner core was widely thought of as a solid sphere.

Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

Earth's inner core may have changed shape, according to researchers studying unknown transformations deep within the planet.

Large earthquakes make the whole Earth ring like a bell with different tones, just like a musical instrument. Seismologists study Earth's deep interior by investigating how much these tones are ...

A record-breaking deep earthquake registered in May 2015 offshore of Japan likely was not a tectonic event but triggered by a ...

Mars spacecraft teamed up with an AI model to find a new impact crater on on the Martian surface, changing our understanding ...

Many processes associated with volcanoes can generate earthquakes. This makes seismic (earth-shaking) activity a common feature of volcanic regions. Unlike pure tectonic earthquakes, seismicity at ...

How do seismic waves travel within the interior of Mars? This is what two recent studies published in Geophysical Research ...

Earthquakes and volcanic activity are both common in Ethiopia ... phenomena driven by the dynamic processes that shape Earth's interior and surface. The outermost layer of Earth, the lithosphere ...
