Measurements of seismic waves over many years suggest the Earth's core is deformed and reshaped by conditions of extreme heat ...

Ancient rocks show Earth’s magnetic field followed deep heat patterns inside the planet for hundreds of millions of years.

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 ...

Deep beneath the surface of our planet lies the Earth’s core, a solid ball of iron under crushing pressure. Now, however, scientists conducting laboratory experiments have found evidence suggesting it ...

The continent-sized blobs are much hotter than the lower mantle, creating a significant temperature gradient in the rocky ...

Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of any drill, new research suggests that Earth’s center is far more intricate than a simple metal ball. Instead of a single solid sphere, the inner core ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...
