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

Now, researchers have connected 49 seismic events to impact craters, proving that meteorite strikes leave distinct seismic ...

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

Deeply hidden in Earth’s mantle there are two huge ‘islands’ with the size of a continent. New research from Utrecht University shows that these regions are not only hotter than the surrounding ...

Continent-size islands deep inside Earth's mantle could be more than a billion years old, a new study finds.

Scientists have discovered hidden treasures in the Earth's mantle. Hidden deep within Earth's mantle are two colossal ...

Seismic activity plays a crucial role in understanding Earth's geological processes, from monitoring natural hazards to imaging subsurface structures. Traditional earthquake detection relies on ...

And we see that seismic waves slow down there." Earth scientists therefore call these regions "Large Low Seismic Velocity Provinces" or LLSVPs. "The waves slow down because the LLSVPs are hot ...
