Ancient rocks show Earth’s magnetic field followed deep heat patterns inside the planet for hundreds of millions of years.
A team of geologists found for the first time evidence linking regions of low seismic velocity and the shape of the Earth’s magnetic field.
Exploring Earth's deep interior is a far bigger challenge than exploring the solar system. While we have traveled 25 billion ...
The continent-sized blobs are much hotter than the lower mantle, creating a significant temperature gradient in the rocky ...
Hidden mega-structures deep inside Earth may have been quietly steering our planet’s magnetic field—and rewriting what we thought we knew about Earth’s past.
Geologists have spent decades trying to punch through Earth’s crust to reach the mantle, the vast rocky layer that makes up ...
