If you've ever looked at Mars through a telescope, you probably noticed its two polar ice caps. The northern one is made ...

Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As ...

First, the upper mantle is depleted in incompatible trace elements compared with what is expected from primitive planet-building material that the Earth should, on average, be composed of.

Continent-size islands deep inside Earth's mantle could be more than a billion years old, a new study finds. Known as large low-seismic-velocity provinces (LLSVPs), these blobs are both hotter and ...

Incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may improve seismic forecasts and save lives.

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

The average lifetimes in Figure 2(b) should be the presence times, which were calculated as the lengths of the AIMD trajectories containing at least one CN-containing species. The total simulation ...

LLSVPs in Earth's mantle are over a billion years old These formations may influence volcanic activity worldwide Larger crystals in LLSVPs reduce seismic wave energy loss ...
