The Earth has a layered structure made up of the core, the mantle and the crust. Different elements are present in different parts of the Earth’s structure. The crust is made from enormous plates ...
About 1,800 miles beneath the surface, Earth's internal structure changes abruptly where the solid rock of the mantle meets the swirling molten iron of the outer core. But the boundary between the ...

Scientists detect 'structure' hiding deep inside Earth's inner core using seismic waves
More insights about Earth's core have arrived through some detailed examinations. A team of researchers believes that the inner core is made of two distinct layers. The finding has been explained in ...
Scientists have uncovered a vast donut-shaped structure buried thousands of miles beneath our feet. Researchers from the Australian National University used seismic waves generated by earthquakes to ...
Researchers have detected a large, previously unknown structure—consisting of unusually dense, hot rock—deep inside the Earth below the Pacific Ocean. The structure, known as an ultralow-velocity zone ...
While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history. Our history. Research shows there are little-known ...
The interior of the Earth, like that of the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The Earth has an outer silicate solid crust, a highly viscous mantle, a liquid outer core that ...
