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.

Scientists now know how to drill deep enough to tap into an energy supply that would power the world for more than 20 million ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
