As a place where liquid and solid meet, this boundary is “filled with potential for activity,” as are the core-mantle ...

Water-bearing subducted slabs may not dehydrate and contribute to chemical heterogeneities at the core–mantle boundary, according to high-pressure and high-temperature melting experiments.

T he 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 ...

A new study has revealed that two continent-sized regions in Earth's deep mantle have distinctive histories and resulting ...

This is caused by the connection between the topography of the core-mantle boundary and mantle density anomalies. Changes near the edge of the inner core are likely the result of such deformation ...

Mountains 100 times taller than Everest were found beneath Earth's surface, lying at the core-mantle boundary. ‘A dying star’s last breath’: Hubble captures stunning new view of Veil Nebula ...

Earth is divided into several layers: crust, mantle, outer core ... the liquid-iron outer core meets the solid-iron inner core. This boundary region lies 3,000 miles below Earth’s surface ...

Earth’s core is located below the middle layer called the mantle and the outer layer ... shape and shifting at the inner core’s shallow boundary. This interaction between the inner and ...

The Earth is made of different layers: the core, mantle and crust ... This is called a destructive or convergent plate boundary. When the plates collide, the denser plate, usually the oceanic ...

This Collection is open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and the participating ...

Scientists have revealed that two continent-size regions in Earth's deep mantle have distinctive histories and resulting chemical composition, in contrast to the common assumption they are the same.
