What is the chemical composition of the Earth’s interior? Because it is impossible to drill more than about ten kilometres deep into the Earth, volcanic rocks formed by melting Earth’s deep interior ...
A research team Led by Professor WU Zhongqing from the School of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences（CAS）, in ...
On present-day Earth, plate subduction continuously modifies the chemical composition of the convecting mantle, and various mantle sources linked to these processes have been widely studied. However, ...
Geochemists have investigated the volcanic rocks that build up the Portuguese island group of the Azores in order to gather new information about the compositional evolution of the Earth's interior.

Scientists map the deepest mantle plume ever found — a column of hot rock rising 1,800 miles under Iceland that powers its volcanoes
Since late 2023, the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland has erupted repeatedly, forcing evacuations from the fishing ...
Geoscientists have made an unprecedented achievement on their 60-year quest to know more about Earth's mysterious depths. Pieces of Earth’s rocky mantle were collected by a drilling vessel called the ...
New research paints an intricate picture of Earth's mantle as a geochemically diverse mosaic, far different from the relatively uniform lavas that eventually reach the surface. In countless ...
Bermuda’s volcanic rocks may reveal a hidden water-rich layer deep inside Earth, reshaping ideas about mantle structure and ...
