Earth’s core is pretty dynamic. Its spin speeds up and slows down based on how its two primary layers are behaving. As we improve the waveform techniques used to study the deepest layer ...

Normally, younger rocks are deposited above older ones, forming predictable geologic layers. In the North Sea, this process ...

The North Sea, a region known for its rich history and vital role in energy production, holds a surprising geological anomaly. A study led by scientists from the University of Manchester has uncovered ...

New research suggests that the thick, mineral-rich layers of clay found on Mars could hold the key to understanding whether ...

Earth’s core seems to be surrounded by enigmatic layer, geologists say Jagged region sits at boundary between liquid and solid rock and might be remnants of ancient seafloor ...

The Earth’s inner core is separated from the rest of the planet by its liquid outer core, so it rotates at a different pace and direction.

Researchers have modeled sea level changes on thousand-year timescales for the past 540 million years. These insights offer ...

Meteorologist Kylee Miller explains the different layers in the atmosphere in this Science of Weather segment.

Intense pressure and sweltering temperature would accompany a trip down through Earth's layers and out through the other side. However, this trip would be possible only in science fiction.

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 ...

Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward, Earth’s inner core in changing shape.

A wealth of new information about Earth’s inner core has surfaced in recent months. Scientists now have evidence that the planet’s innermost layer is changing shape.
