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. Seismic waves are shock waves tha ...

Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

Although they don't impact the surface directly, historical evidence and simulations suggest airbursts can pack a punch.

The Earth's interior is composed of four layers, three solid and one liquid—not magma but molten metal, nearly as hot as the surface of the sun. The deepest layer is a solid iron ball ...

A computer model visualization of material in the ... to uncover the secrets of our planet's interior. The Earth comprises several layers, each with distinct properties and compositions.

To find out, the team used whole-Earth oscillation data from 104 past earthquakes to create a detailed 3D model of the upper ...

Scientists released an update to a model that maps the ever-moving pole and has significant implications for navigation ...

and lower thermospheric layer (about 90-110 km above Earth's surface) of the atmosphere, including the ignorosphere," explained Professor Kaoru Sato from the University of Tokyo. "If we can better ...

Scientists have always been curious about the atmosphere surrounding us, but in the past, they could not just hop on a spaceship to see what was up there. Instead, scientists hiked up high ...

Earth's interior is made up of a series of layers that sit below the surface crust. In order of depth, these layers include the solid, but flowing mantle, the liquid outer core and the solid iron ...
