The mantle of the Earth, up to 1,800 miles (2,900 kms) thick and 84% of the Earth's volume, was assumed to be a simple ...

An ocean may in time develop from a rift in the Afar Triangle, in the Horn of Africa which will be close to America.

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

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

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

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

Beneath the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, a strange phenomenon has puzzled scientists for decades—a massive gravitational anomaly where the ocean surface dips an astonishing 106 meters lower than ...

Activist investor Mantle Ridge has built a stake worth more than $1 billion in consultancy firm Cognizant Technology, saying its shares are undervalued, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

Scientists have mapped the deep forces at play beneath the Tonga Subduction Zone, exposing how mantle plumes, subducting slabs, and tectonic shifts fuel volcanic activity and plate motion.

Conducted by researchers from Ocean University of China and Tohoku University, Japan, the work combines innovative seismic methodologies to map mantle flow patterns, slab-plume interactions ...
