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

One of the strongest of these depressions – where the gravity field is weaker – lies under Antarctica. Now, new models of how the so-called Antarctic Geoid Low evolved over time have shown that it's ...

Below the surface, Greenland’s ice appears to be churning up, a process one scientist described as akin to a “boiling pot of pasta” ...

A frozen continent at the bottom of the world sits over the deepest dip in Earth’s gravitational pull, a feature that has persisted for roughly 70 million years. Scientists have long known about this ...

A new scientific revelation reveals that deep in the Earth’s core lies a good amount of hydrogen as well as a large amount of iron. While the iron in the core has always been recognized as dominant, ...

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 ...

Simulated maps of Earth’s magnetic field (L) can only look like those of the real field (R) if Earth’s core is assumed to have hot blobs of rock sitting directly on top of it. (Cover Image Source: A.
