They found an odd ring around the outer core's equator, where earthquake waves move more slowly than in surrounding regions.

From these indirect observations, scientists have calculated that the scorchingly hot inner core, with temperatures ...

A team of scientists led by Joanne Stephenson from the Australian National University, has made a groundbreaking discovery ...

The Earth is made up of the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. The inner core is solid and separated from the semi-solid mantle by the liquid outer core, which allows the inner core ...

The tangent cylinder is an imaginary structure that runs parallel to the axis around which Earth spins, and touches the points where the solid inner and liquid outer core meet at the equator.

Water leaking from the surface of the Earth could be changing the outer rim of our planet's core and wrapping it in a layer of crystals, according to a study. The experimental research could help ...

Starting at the surface, you would have to dig nearly 2,000 miles before reaching the Earth’s core. No one could survive that ...

The planet, with a mass about 1.9 times that of Earth, is orbiting the white dwarf about 4,200 light-years away from our ...

The core-mantle boundary (CMB) is a crucial interface within the Earth, marking the boundary between the outer core and the lower mantle. For the past two decades, seismological studies have ...

Scientists have uncovered new evidence that suggests the moon might have a partially molten layer deep beneath its surface.

They found an odd ring around the outer core's equator, where earthquake waves move more slowly than in surrounding regions.
