Scientists are confident Mars was once abundant with water, as seen in massive flood-carved channels, ancient river valleys, ...

Credit: Professor Axel Hofmann A study of ancient stromatolites reveals that ammonium reservoirs in early Earth’s oceans, likely influenced by volcanic activity, may have supported microbial life ...

The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long-standing debate over how our planet formed. Primordial helium from the ...

US president Donald Trump has claimed a rare earth minerals deal with Ukraine - a crucial first step to achieving peace in the region - is back on after Volodymyr Zelensky sent him a letter ...

Earth is made out of different layers, and those layers get hotter and more pressurized the deeper you go. The first layer is the crust, a thin outer shell that extends about 18 miles (30 km ...

Scientists believe that the LLVPs are made up of accumulated oceanic crust subducted down ... the one under the Pacific. A diagram shows the mechanisms feeding Earth's two LLVPs.

Deep inside the mantle (the layer between Earth's iron core and its silica-dominated crust), there are vast areas beneath the Pacific Ocean and the African continent where seismic waves travel ...

This diagram shows how YR4 will loop back around ... It would cause a devastating impact, blowing a 1.2 mile-across crater into the Earth's crust. Physicists drew up a potential impact zone ...

But they tend to be spread thin around the Earth's crust in small quantities and mixed together or with other minerals, so larger deposits are difficult to find and costly to extract. Processing ...

It would blow a 1.2mile-across crater into the Earth's crust, and a terrifying simulation showed what the impact might look like. Physicists drew up a potential impact zone, cutting across some ...
