The discovery of an Earth-like planet 4,000 light years away in the Milky Way galaxy provides a preview of one possible fate ...

The Earth is made up of different layers: Therefore, instead of tectonic plates moving because of the convection currents, evidence suggests it is the plates that drive the convection. Slab pull ...

Next comes the mantle, which sits directly above the core. This layer is composed of mostly silicate rocks that are rich in ...

The beginnings of a strange layer of molten rock deep inside the Earth may have finally been figured out by geoscientists.

A 2020 microlensing event was caused by a planetary system with an Earth-like planet and brown dwarf. The star type was uncertain. The team has determined that the star is a white dwarf, a system ...

Scientists have uncovered a vast donut-shaped structure buried thousands of miles beneath our feet. Researchers from the Australian National University used seismic waves generated by earthquakes ...

A solid iron-nickel ball is followed by a liquid metallic layer, forming Earth's core, with a semi-rigid rocky mantle surrounding the core. However, rather than using traditional seismic wave ...

The ozone layer is a thin shield of gas in the Earth’s atmosphere that protects the planet, absorbing the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays and helping to preserve all life on the planet.

Our ocean's twilight zone is still very much a big murky marine mystery, but we dive into the fascinating facts about this ...

Tkalčić called for a rewrite of the textbooks last year when, after studying the reverberations of 200 earthquakes over a decade, he unveiled a fifth layer of the Earth’s core: a searing ball ...

The phase-out of controlled uses of ozone-depleting substances and the related reductions have helped protect the ozone layer ...

There are no concessions in AS1668.1 to allow for ‘Internal Exposure Only’ or ‘External Exposure Only’, except for Smoke ...
