The surface of the Earth’s inner core may be changing, as shown by a new study from USC scientists that detected structural ...
Understanding Earth’s Core Earth's core is the heart of our planet; it's a fiery furnace where temperatures soar higher than the surface of the sun. Nestled about 1,800 miles beneath our feet, it's a ...
It looks like we might have to rewrite the textbooks. What we have always known about the Earth’s inner core has changed, and researchers have provided us with new information. Scientists recently ...
Our history. Research shows there are little-known chapters in that history, deep within Earth's past. In fact, Earth's inner core appears to have another even more inner core within it.
A recent study investigating giant "island" structures near Earth's core has deepened the mystery surrounding them: As well as suggesting they are truly ancient structures, the research may alter ...
A team of scientists led by Joanne Stephenson from the Australian National University (ANU) has made a surprising discovery about Earth's inner core. Their research suggests that the core may have an ...
The event also offers geologists a rarely seen opening study of ocean birth in real-time, an event never detected before. The process might take millions of years, but its effects are already being ...
The history of Earth’s climate is written within ice. Drilling vertically into ice and extracting a core is akin to measuring how old a tree is by counting a stump’s rings. But ice contains more ...
What's more, they believe that the core is around 18 percent of Mars's radius, pretty similar in size to Earth's inner core, which is around 19 percent of Earth's radius. While the proportions are ...
The findings could transform researchers’ understanding of plate tectonics and how plate movement might be shaped by these ancient, fixed anchors near Earth’s core, Deuss said. Further ...
The ice core spans at least 1.2 million years of Earth’s climate history. Air bubbles and particles trapped inside the ice could also reveal why the planet’s ice ages suddenly became longer ...
