Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.

That’s the antipode, or opposite point on Earth’s surface, from my town. But I only had a garden spade to move the earth.

The Earth is made of different layers: the core, mantle and crust. Plate tectonic theory shows that the crust of the Earth is split into plates (pieces of the Earth’s crust). The movement of ...
