Researchers at Göttingen University have uncovered new evidence that some of Earth’s most precious metals began their journey far deeper than once thought. Working with volcanic rocks from ocean ...

Earth's core is rich with gold, and it's leaking out through the mantle and into the crust, new research has found. A new study of isotopes found in the volcanic rock that oozed out from deep under ...

Extreme chemical reactions could explain why Earth's middle layer has so much carbon. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The ...

Earth's core has baffled researchers for decades, and it still contains many secrets. Recent studies show this hot furnace buried deep under our feet is weirder than we think. The inner core may be ...

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

The intense heat and pressure at the Earth's core, deep beneath the surface, is enough to make diamonds out of carbon, scientists say. Researchers from Arizona State University's School of Earth and ...

Steel rusts by water and air on the Earth’s surface. But what about deep inside the Earth’s interior? The Earth’s core is the largest carbon storage on Earth – roughly 90% is buried there. Scientists ...

Scientists used satellite data to confirm that Earth's crust is "dripping" into the mantle beneath Turkey's Central Anatolian ...

To understand the mantle—the largest layer of Earth’s rocky body—scientists drill deep cores out of the Earth. Scientists drilled the deepest core yet and recovered serpentinized peridotite that forms ...

Mysteries still abound for scientists studying the Earth’s climate, biosphere, surface topography, and even the oceans, but they all have a distinct advantage: the subjects of their inquiries are, to ...

Scientists discover that a potential 'diamond factory' may have existed at Earth's core-mantle boundary for billions of years. Steel rusts by water and air on the Earth's surface. But what about deep ...
