In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have successfully drilled the deepest-ever core sample from Earth's ...

How plate tectonics works The driving force behind plate tectonics is convection in the mantle. Hot material near Earth's core rises, and colder mantle rock sinks. "It's kind of like a pot boiling ...

One of the most puzzling phenomena lies beneath the Indian Ocean, south of Sri Lanka, where a massive gravity anomaly known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL) has confounded researchers for decades, ...

Additionally, a large region of upper mantle material, known as a "large mantle wedge," developed between the advancing slab ...

We apply our understanding to geological and geophysical processes such as faulting, plate flexure, mountain-building, plate tectonics, volcanism, mantle convection, gravitation, glacial flow, and sea ...

Geodynamics refers to the processes by which mantle convection shapes and reshapes the Earth and other rocky planets. Its study includes plate tectonics, volcanism, the chemistry of lava and ...

It could also study neutrinos given off by the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium in the Earth to better understand mantle convection driving tectonic plates. The race to understand neutrinos ...

While the average age of atomic bomb survivors is 85-plus, members of younger generations are sharing their wishes and are taking action. The student group "Know Nukes Tokyo" kicked off an ...
