Mysteries of Earth deepen with data from recent experiments that suggest temperatures in specific layers of interior TEMPE, Ariz. – Earth’s interior is not a benign world that only stores the geologic ...

Researchers have compiled the first global set of observations of flow within the Earth's mantle -- the layer between the crust and the core -- and found that it is moving much faster than has been ...

Using an anvil made of diamond, researchers discover an secret of Earth's lower mantle. For decades, researchers have studied the interior of the Earth using seismic waves from earthquakes. Now a ...

Heat flow (Earth) refers to the conductive and convective transfer of thermal energy from Earth’s interior to its surface, quantified as heat flux (typically in mW/m²). It arises from the decay of ...

PACIFIC CITY, Ore. — Scott Burns, professor emeritus in geology at Portland State University, thought he had seen it all — until he saw a couple of photos of an extremely rare sand formation on the ...

New research suggests giant structures beneath Earth's mantle significantly influence the planet's magnetic field over long ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured the amount of heat flowing from the molten metal of Earth’s core into a region at the base of the mantle, a process that helps drive both the ...

Inspired by gas and liquid flow in earth science, researchers brewed an equation to calculate the speed of water percolation through ground coffee.

The way heat flows near the Earth's core, which is key to understanding the planet's evolution, has now been revealed to move more sluggishly than previously thought, researchers said. Subscribe to ...

For decades, researchers have studied the interior of the Earth using seismic waves from earthquakes. Now a recent study, led by Arizona State University's School of Earth and Space Exploration ...
