Water leaking from the surface of the Earth could be changing the outer rim of our planet's core and wrapping it in a layer of crystals, according to a study.

We finally know where two giant blobs in Earth's middle layer came from — and they're a mismatched pair. These strange regions in Earth's mantle, known as "large low velocity provinces" (LLVPs ...

Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could transform our understanding of plate tectonics.

Scientists have found signs that Earth has another layer — a metal ball inside the inner core.

But what is inside the place that we call our home? What is deep inside that makes it? National Geographic stated that our Earth is made up of three layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core.

Deep below the Earth's crust, molten rock rises and falls, driving the movement of tectonic plates on our planet's surface — and for some time, researchers have debated whether the moon also has ...

Our planet, Earth, is structurally composed of a series of concentric internal spherical layers that are divided into: crust, upper mantle, mantle, outer core and inner core. Every ...
