July 11, 2022 By analyzing noble gas isotope data, a scientist determined that the ancient plume mantle (the deep part) had a water concentration that was a factor of 4 to 250 times lower when compared with the ...
Nov. 22, 2021 Volcanic gases are helping researchers track large-scale movements in Earth's deep interior. Scientists have discovered anomalous geochemical compositions beneath ...
Jan. 14, 2022 Researchers have demonstrated in the lab how well a mineral common at the boundary between the Earth's core and mantle conducts heat. This leads them to suspect that the Earth's heat may ...
Aug. 30, 2022 Scientists discover that a potential 'diamond factory' may have existed at Earth's core-mantle boundary for billions of ...
Feb. 6, 2023 Scientists have discovered a new layer of partly molten rock under the Earth's crust that might help settle a long-standing debate about how tectonic plates move. The molten layer is located ...
Sep. 26, 2022 The transition zone between the Earth's upper and lower mantle contains considerable quantities of water, according to an international study. The research team analyzed a rare diamond formed ...
June 20, 2023 A team of scientists has observed past episodic intraplate magmatism and corroborated the existence of a partial melt channel at the base of the Cocos Plate. Situated 60 kilometers beneath the ...
June 29, 2022 The recent Fagradalsfjall eruption in the southwest of Iceland has enthralled the whole world, including nature lovers and scientists alike. The eruption was especially important as it provided ...
May 19, 2022 New research examines an unusual pocket of rock at the boundary layer with Earth's core, some three thousand kilometers beneath the ...
May 14, 2021 High-precision noble gas analyses indicate that solar wind particles from our primordial Sun were encased in the Earth's core over 4.5 billion years ago. Researchers have concluded that the ...
