Using advanced computer simulations, researchers have reconstructed the geological past of the region, uncovering a ...

Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.

A breakthrough study has provided the most detailed 3D look yet at the inner workings of the Tonga Subduction Zone, where ...

Deep within Earth’s mantle lie two enormous, continent-sized structures known as LLVPs. Scientists once believed these ...

Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.

Continent-size islands deep inside Earth's mantle could be more than a billion years old, a new study finds. Known as large low-seismic-velocity provinces (LLSVPs), these blobs are both hotter and ...

Indian scientists have uncovered the possible cause behind the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), the lowest geoid anomaly on ...

Beneath the Indian Ocean lies a 106-meter gravity hole, caused by ancient mantle plumes and vanished oceans. Scientists trace ...

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.

High-Resolution Anisotropic Tomography Reveals Mantle Flow Complexity and Slab-Plume Interactions, Redefining Subduction Zone ...
