What is new about their modeling approach is that the ETH researchers are not just using one type of earthquake wave to study the structure of the Earth's interior, but all of them.

Blobs of rock are dripping off the underside of North America, likely caused by the remnants of a tectonic plate deep in ...

While researching, they identified remnants of the prehistoric seafloor that was likely plunged into the Earth's depths in the Jurassic Age, which calls our views on the Earth's interior structure ...

University of Maryland scientists uncovered evidence of an ancient seafloor that sank deep into Earth during the age of dinosaurs, challenging existing theories about Earth's interior structure ...

Earth’s Inner Core May Be Slowing Its Spin, Another Study Suggests New research adds evidence to the controversial idea that the hot, solid ball at the center of our planet has been reducing its ...

For the study, the researchers conducted one of the most in-depth analyses of the Sun’s supergranuales using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which is in geosynchronous orbit around the Earth, to ...

The journey for volcanic rocks found on many volcanic islands began deep within the Earth. Brought to the Earth’s surface in eruptions of deep volcanic material, these rocks hold clues as to ...

It’s the first time that lower mantle minerals have ever been observed in nature because they usually fall apart before they reach the Earth’s surface, unable to retain their structure outside ...

Our planet's interior is much too deep and hot to explore with probes, so scientists rely on seismic waves to understand and model its structure.
