The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, outer core and inner core. New research shows the inner core undergoes structural transformation likely caused by outer core disturbance.

Deep within Earth, there lies a mysterious layer called the D" layer. Located roughly 3,000 kilometers down, this zone sits just above the boundary between the planet's molten outer core and its ...

Remnants of a liquid layer of magma near Earth's core, formed in the first few hundred million years of the planet's history, ...

Geologists have made certain assumptions about how the crust making up our planet's earliest surface formed, but a new study ...

Earth's rocky layers are mysteriously low in nitrogen compared with carbon and argon. A scientific team explored our planet's molten youth using advanced quantum mechanical simulations, revealing ...
