A river of molten iron, more than 2,000 kilometers below the surface, appears to have pulled off something Earth scientists ...

The liquid iron in Earth's outer core doesn't always behave as expected. When it changed direction in an unexplained way, ESA ...

Our planet may have had a recent change of heart. Earth’s inner core may have temporarily stopped rotating relative to the mantle and surface, researchers report in the January 23 Nature Geoscience.

Earth’s molten outer core is critical to life on our planet. Churning some 2,900 kilometers beneath the surface, it’s a vast ...

Scientists who just months ago confirmed that Earth's inner core recently reversed its spin have a new revelation about our planet's deepest secrets — they identified changes to the inner core's shape ...

Geophysicist John Vidale noticed something striking while tracking the way seismic waves move from Earth’s crust through its core. The very center of the planet, a solid ball of iron and nickel ...

Earth's crust ranges from 5 to 70 kilometers in thickness and serves as the planet's outermost layer. This thin shell represents less than one percent of Earth's total mass, yet it's the only layer we ...

The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, outer core and inner core. New research shows the inner core undergoes structural transformation likely caused by outer core disturbance. The surface ...

At the center of our planet is a very hot rotating ball of mostly iron and nickel (sorry Journey to the Center of the Earth fans). Scientists infer features of this innermost geographic layer—like the ...
