Something vast is lurking beneath our feet—so immense and anomalous that scientists are rethinking what qualifies as the ...

A Rutgers researcher and collaborators have linked unusual geological anomalies to Earth’s molten origins and its unique habitability. For many years, researchers have struggled to understand two ...

By integrating seismic data, mineral physics and geodynamic modeling, the study reconceived large low-shear velocity ...

Scientists may finally be closing in on the origins of two colossal, mysterious structures buried nearly 1,800 miles inside ...

What lies 3,000 km beneath us? A new study reveals how a leaking core may have formed mysterious deep-Earth structures, ...

A new study explains why even gas-rich, supposedly explosive volcanoes sometimes erupt quietly instead of blowing apart.

The ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) are located around the core-mantle boundary, and most of them are near the boundary of Large Low Velocity Provinces (LLVPs), which dominate the earth’s lowermost ...

Field examples from the Western Desert of Egypt show the effectiveness of compressional-wave velocity (V p) and shear-wave velocity (V s) crossplots for identifying the type of fluid contained in a ...
