NASA’s Mars InSight has provided … well, insight, into the inner workings of the Red Planet. By monitoring “marsquakes” over the past two years the instrument has allowed scientists to measure the ...

A layer only a few to a few dozen kilometers thick may be draped across the boundary between Earth’s core and mantle, and ...

A sideways flow of hot mantle rock, not a deep plume rising from near Earth’s core, may be feeding one of the planet’s most ...

Researchers at Göttingen University have uncovered new evidence that some of Earth’s most precious metals began their journey far deeper than once thought. Working with volcanic rocks from ocean ...

A new study challenges the long-standing theory that Yellowstone’s volcanic activity is powered by a deep mantle plume, finding instead that tectonic forces in Earth’s crust drive its magma system.

Scientists believe that gold and other precious metals are slowly leaking to the surface from Earth's core through Hawaiian ...

Seismic waves created by earthquakes as they travel through the planet’s interior change speed and direction as they move through different materials. Things like rock type, density, and temperature ...

Researchers have been able to use seismic data to look inside Mars for the first time. They measured the crust, mantle and core and narrowed down their composition. Since early 2019, researchers have ...
