Earth appears to be a chill blue planet, but deep down, it’s really a metalhead. Its outer core is mostly molten iron (and ...
The next layer is the mantle, which makes up most of Earth's volume and is composed of dense, semi-solid rock. Then there is the outer core, made of liquid metal, and the inner core, a solid ball ...
Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.
At the center of the Earth lies a hot, solid inner core composed predominantly of nickel and iron, with a radius of approximately 1,200 to 1,300 kilometers. This inner core is surrounded by a ...
Scientists confirm the Moon has a solid iron core, like Earth’s, with a molten outer layer. This discovery reshapes our ...
The findings confirm that helium could stay locked in Earth's solid inner core for a long time, Olson told Live Science, but he cautioned that only 4% of the core is solid.
A groundbreaking study reveals that the Moon has a solid inner core with a density comparable to iron, reshaping our ...
Deep within Earth’s mantle lie two enormous, continent-sized structures known as LLVPs. Scientists once believed these ...
