New "unprecedented" animations of the Earth show how the planet's surface has shifted and changed over the past 100 million years. These animations are the most detailed view of the history of Earth's ...

Ever wonder what's in the miles and miles of rocky crust just below your feet? James O'Donoghue, a planetary scientist at the Japanese space agency (JAXA), asked himself that in 2019. So he sent a ...

Scientists have discovered yet another layer deep inside the core of the Earth, a new study suggests. "Traditionally we've been taught the Earth has four main layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer ...

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 ...

Our planet has an outer layer made up of several plates, which move relative to one another. While we may take this knowledge for granted, this theory of plate tectonics was only formulated in the ...

One of geology’s basic principles is that the Earth is made up of four layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. But this may be squashed in light of a new study that suggests ...

Earth's inner layers have just got a bit more complicated, with scientists discovering a whole new inner core within the center of the planet. Research released on February 21 in the journal Nature ...

The layers of Earth provide geologists and geophysicists clues to how Earth formed, the layers that make up other planetary bodies, the source of Earth's resources, and much more. Modern advances have ...

Scientists have long wondered what lies at the very center of the Earth, and the latest research is putting weight behind a theory that our planet has a distinct ball of iron within its metallic core.

A new model shows how the planet's surface evolved over the past 100 million years, from the shifting of tectonic plates to the movement of sediments. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
