deformation of the lithosphere (crust and uppermost mantle) and seismic tomography (a technique that uses seismic waves to generate 3D models of Earth's interior). They identified two stages of ...

Seismic data like the lines pictured on this 3D map help scientists understand the structure of the earth's core. This ...

Scientists devised 3D seismic imaging to map the crater rim on the Earth to further understand ... sixth ocean in a crystal structure under its crust. Here's why The details of the research ...

dark hotspots of life extend beyond what’s visible above the crust Margherita Bassi Earth's highest peak has gained as much as an extra 165 feet in elevation as the planet's crust adjusts due to ...

Could the Earth Actually Have Six Continents? Now, a new study from scientists at China University of Geosciences analyzed the North China Craton (NCC) to get a better understanding of how these ...

Stable parts of the Earth's crust may not be as immovable as previously thought. While much of the crust is affected by plate tectonic activity, certain more stable portions have remained ...

Cratons are fascinating yet enigmatic geological formations. Known to be relatively stable portions of the Earth's ...

Academics led by UWE Bristol in the UK have used an extrusion-based 3D food printer to produce ... Massive ocean discovered beneath the Earth's crust containing more water than on the surface ...

The Earth's mantle might not always move along in lockstep with the overlying tectonic crust—as set out in science textbooks for decades—but may instead behave differently. This is the ...

The Earth has a layered structure made up of the core, the mantle and the crust. Different elements are present in different parts of the Earth’s structure. The crust is made from enormous ...

Ed Miliband has been urged to dispose of Britain’s nuclear waste by drilling boreholes up to five kilometres deep into the Earth’s crust. University academics said advances in tunnel-digging ...
