The global "hum" of the Earth is now helping scientists probe the planet's deep interior, a group of researchers say. Since this hum — called seismic noise, which is generated by sources such as storm ...
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Seismologists in recent years have recast their understanding of the inner workings of Earth from a relatively benign homogeneous environment to one that is highly dynamic and ...
Current understanding is that the chemical composition of the Earth's mantle is relatively homogeneous. But experiments now show that this view is too simplistic. Their results solve a key problem ...
Seismic waves passing through the Earth have revealed that the inner core of our planet is now rotating out-of-sync with the layers above it. Update: As reported below, research from January 2023 ...
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 ...

Earth’s core may be layered like an onion, new study suggests
Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of any drill, new research suggests that Earth’s center is far more intricate ...
New research examines an unusual pocket of rock at the boundary layer with Earth's core, some three thousand kilometers beneath the surface. New research led by the University of Cambridge is the ...

Gold is leaking from Earth’s core, and it’s seeping into the mantle
Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, Earth’s metallic heart is not as sealed off as geologists once assumed ...
Our planet is a bit lopsided. One half of Earth is losing heat from the planet’s interior faster than the other, and has been for much of the past 400 million years. The uneven heat loss is probably a ...
