Researchers studying the Earth's shifting continental geography over billions of years have made an interesting discovery: the oldest sections of the continental crust are breaking apart.

The Earth is made up of different layers: Therefore, instead of tectonic plates moving because of the convection currents, evidence suggests it is the plates that drive the convection. Slab pull ...

You might think that weather and climate are the same thing, but they are actually different. A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s crust that allows magma, hot ash and gases to escape.

Potential patches of Earth's ancient crust, sometimes called "sunken worlds," may have just been discovered deep within the mantle, thanks to a new way of mapping the inside of our planet. However ...

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 ...

Heat from the Earth’s crust could rival wind and solar as a near limitless source of clean energy, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The fracking skills developed by oil and ...

According to the study “Dehydration Melting at the Top of the Lower Mantle” (2014), this discovery suggests a “whole-Earth water cycle,” with water moving not only between surface and ...
