The Earth with the upper mantle exposed. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered a previously unknown layer of partly molten rock approximately 100 miles beneath the Earth's ...

Scientists discovered plate anomalies in Earth's mantle using seismic wave analysis. These mysterious structures challenge tectonic theories.

First global map of mantle earthquakes reveals seismic activity far beneath continents, challenging old ideas about Earth’s ...

Researchers have detected a previously unknown layer of partially molten rock beneath Earth's crust. The discovery could help scientists learn more about the movements of Earth's tectonic plates, ...

The layer, located 100 miles below the Earth's surface, could help shed light on how the tectonic plates move. Reading time 2 minutes Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are a result of the movement of ...

Learn how seismic waves helped identify rare mantle earthquakes deep below Earth’s crust, offering new insight into the ...

Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

Stanford researchers have created the first-ever global map of a rare earthquake type that occurs not in Earth's crust but in ...

Hell, or something like it, may be a little closer than we thought. As a new study published in Nature Geoscience reveals, geologists at Cornell and the University of Texas have discovered a “hidden” ...

The Earth with the upper mantle revealed. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered a previously unknown layer of partly molten rock in a key region just below the tectonic ...
