New simulations reveal a hidden “ocean of fire” that once existed above Earth’s core, influencing the planet’s internal ...

New simulations reveal that an ancient ocean of magma located above the Earth's core continues to shape the planet's ...

Pillars of hot rock appear to connect continental-size moving blobs at the bottom of Earth's mantle to giant volcanic eruptions at its surface.

Scientists discover enormous pockets of salty brine beneath the Pacific Ocean, key to understanding periodic underwater ...

New research from HKU geologists suggests that Earth's first continents were born not from plate tectonics, but from deep ...

Abstract: The spectral description of the wind-roughened ocean surface usually involves an omnidirectional spectral model and an azimuthal spreading function that describes the fraction of the waves ...

The variations of the defined a- and b- values through the study regions not only reflect the geodynamic processes such as seafloor spreading and continental rift but also assess the seismic hazard ...

Chemical fingerprints from volcanic rock offer hints of what’s happening in the mantle below the area where three rift zones meet in East Africa ...

Borehole sensors were placed to detect slow-motion seismic event “It’s like a ripple moving across the plate interface,” said Josh Edgington, who conducted the work as a doc ...

Earth’s major climate goal is too warm for the polar ice sheets, study says If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice ...

Mantle plumes are important geologic processes—they interact with plate tectonics, create rich mineral deposits, and even ...
