The origins of plate tectonics on Earth are hotly debated, but evidence from Australia now shows that parts of the crust ...

Researchers used zircons and AI to reconstruct Earth's ancient crust, revealing possible tectonic processes from the planet's ...

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

Known as stratigraphic inversion, this discovery challenges our fundamental understanding of how Earth’s layers are formed. A ...

Underneath our feet, deep down below the Earth’s crust and its other layers lies the core, or where the planet’s magnetic fields are generated. However, experts now say it’s changing and ...

Humankind will soon lose a great deal of vigilance over the ozone layer, which shields life on Earth from harmful solar radiation. The impending loss of NASA’s Aura and the Canadian Space Agency ...

While Duncan’s previous work has received much acclaim, The Gorgeous Inertia of the Earth, though admirably serious, feels impenetrable.

In a big geological discovery, scientists have found signs of portions of the Earth's crust peeling away and sinking into the mantle. This geological churning is happening beneath California's ...

The Earth’s interior is far more complex than what we are taught in school. Instead of just three layers- crust, mantle, and core- the Earth is made up of multiple intricate layers, each with ...

If you were to slice through it, you would see the Earth is divided into distinct layers. On top is the relatively thin crust where we live. Beneath that is the 2,900 km thick mantle layer. Then ...
