A river of molten iron, more than 2,000 kilometers below the surface, appears to have pulled off something Earth scientists ...

Scientists discovered a mysterious reversal in Earth’s molten core flow beneath the Pacific using satellite data from space.

Earth's core is rich with gold, and it's leaking out through the mantle and into the crust, new research has found. A new study of isotopes found in the volcanic rock that oozed out from deep under ...

No one knows why the river of liquid iron flowing 1,400 miles beneath our feet just reversed course.

Scientists are working to solve a mystery of Earth’s molten outer core, which lies more than 2,000 kilometers beneath our feet ...

Earth cross section showing the classic distinction between crust, mantle and core. But new research shows Earth's structure is far more complicated and may change over time. Analyzing an unusual ...

Deep beneath our feet, approximately 2,890 kilometers underground, lies one of Earth's most mysterious regions. The boundary between our planet's molten outer core and solid mantle acts like a massive ...

Earth's magnetic field is generated by the churn of its liquid nickel-iron outer core, but it is not a constant feature. Every so often, the magnetic north and south poles swap places in what are ...

The iron-rich core at the centre of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth's inner core — a solid ball of iron and nickel that plays a crucial role in shaping the conditions we experience on the surface ...
