The depths of the Earth still hold many surprises. A team of scientists has discovered that objects move horizontally in the Earth's mantle, nearly 1,864 miles (3,000 km) beneath our feet.

By analysing how the Earth's plates moved in the past, the researchers concluded that the Dani plume likely arrived during ...

Scientists believe they've discovered a 'ghost' plume for the first time. Rising from Earth's core beneath Oman, the ...

Scientists have been baffled to discover solid rock flowing 1,700 miles (2,700km) beneath the Earth's surface.

ETH Zurich scientists confirmed that solid rock flows deep inside Earth, solving a decades-old mystery about seismic waves.

The D" layer, some 2,700 kilometers (nearly 1,700 miles) below our feet, has been mystifying scientists for decades.

Recent findings suggest that Earth’s mantle might harbor hidden plumes venting heat from the planet’s core, a discovery that ...

New research reveals that Earth's core is leaking gold. Precious metals are moving from the core to the mantle and crust.

Earth’s earliest crust may have looked a lot more like the continents we know today than scientists once believed. A recent study shakes up old ideas about how Earth's surface evolved, showing that ...

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found.

In a recent discovery that could change how we understand Earth’s inner layers, scientists have found signs that precious metals like gold might be slowly leaking from the planet’s core.

Researchers at Göttingen University find gold and ruthenium in Hawaiian volcanic rocks, suggesting core materials are reaching the Earth's surface.
