Scientists discovered plate anomalies in Earth's mantle using seismic wave analysis. These mysterious structures challenge tectonic theories.

Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more closely resembles a potato, with bumps and divots. One of the strongest of ...

The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

Earth's inner core, once rotating faster than the surface, has begun to slow, impacting day length by fractions of a second. This subtle shift, detected through seismic wave analysis, reveals complex ...

Fast-flowing jetstream air currents have shifted further southwards, dragging rain-bearing weather away from Australia.

Petroglyphs on sandstone at a national park in Chad bear witness to wildlife that once roamed the area before the continent’s ...
