The chemical uniformity of Earth's mantle is greater than previously believed. Lavas from hotspots—whether erupting in Hawaii ...

Mantle convection plays an essential role in determining the evolution of the Earth's temperature through geologic time because it is the primary mechanism by which the Earth transfers heat from its ...

A low-density, weak-gravity region has been found below Olympus Mons and the Tharsis volcanoes, while Mars' northern ...

Studies on Mars have revealed hidden structures and dense areas beneath old ocean beds, influencing the volcanic activity of ...

We know Mars once had an active geological past, filled with water, volcanic activity, and dynamic geological changes. Now, ...

Flexural isostasy states that this massive region should force the planet's surface downward. But the reverse is true.

It is unlikely that the Earth's mantle — the layer beneath the crust and above the core — was completely homogeneous when it initially formed. Over time, cooling-induced convection as well as ...

Much can be learned about the evolution of the Earth by considering the fluid dynamics of mantle convection and the associated thermal problems. However, chemical effects play a crucial role.
