Water leaking into the Earth may be wrapping the core in crystals, a study has suggested. The study may help explain a weird area in the outer core that has long puzzled scientists.

Strong new evidence suggests that primordial material from the planet’s center is somehow making its way out. Continent-size ...

Earth's inner layers have just got a bit more complicated, with scientists discovering a whole new inner core within the center of the planet. Research released on February 21 in the journal ...

Understanding how the inner core rotates could shed light on how all of the Earth’s layers interact. In this study, seismologists Yi Yang and Xiaodong Song looked at seismic waves.

Seismologists might have identified the deepest layer of Earth’s core The so-called 'innermost inner core' could become the latest addition to geology textbooks. Jack Izzo Feb 28, 2023 3:30 PM EST ...

Researchers are still discovering more about the Earth's center. A team at Australian National University (ANU) has found evidence of a new layer to the planet sitting within the inner core.

Earth is composed of three main layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core. The core, divided into a liquid outer part and a solid inner part, contains most of the planet's precious metals.

The Earth is not a solid ball; it consists of several layers. There is the innermost core, which is a solid sphere about the same size as the planet Mars. Surrounding that is the outer core, which ...

The core is split into the outer and inner core, and this is where a team of researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) examined seismic wave data from 200 magnitude-6 and above ...

Chinese scientists believe Earth's core has reversed rotation Scientists have long wondered what lies at the very center of the Earth, and the latest research is putting weight behind a theory ...
