At the center of our planet is a very hot rotating ball of mostly iron and nickel (sorry Journey to the Center of the Earth ...

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 ...

Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating ...

The Earth's interior is composed of four layers, three solid and one liquid—not magma but molten metal, nearly as hot as the surface of the sun. The deepest layer is a solid iron ball ...

Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

Our planet's interior is much too deep and hot to explore with probes, so scientists rely on seismic waves to understand and model its structure. Seismic waves are shock waves tha ...

We are unsure of the nature of the strange doughnut-shaped structure discovered inside the Earth's core. We thought Earth had ...

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 ...

Although the troposphere is often thought of as the closest layer of the atmosphere to the Earth's surface ... and resolving the vertical structure of the atmosphere more clearly in order to ...

Earth's interior is made up of a series of layers that sit below the surface crust. In order of depth, these layers include the solid, but flowing mantle, the liquid outer core and the solid iron ...
