Scientists have traced a 60-million-year volcanic trail from Iceland to Ireland to a deep mantle plume that shaped the North ...

The asthenosphere is a thick and sticky (viscous) layer beneath Earth’s lithosphere. It is made malleable by heat from deep within the Earth, allowing the lithosphere above to move.

Plate tectonics explains the movement and interaction of the Earth’s upper layers. More accurately, the lithosphere which is composed of the crust and upper layer of the mantle.

It stimulates the radioactive nuclei to enter the excited state, increases their decay probability, releases more thermal energy, provides energy for magma formation, extraction, transport, and ...

The Earth is made up of a total of 7 layers which are- crust, lithosphere (crust and uppermost mantle), asthenosphere (upper mantle directly below the lithosphere), lower mantle, outer core and ...

Plate tectonics: Understanding the basics Plate tectonics is the theory that explains how Earth’s outer layer, known as the lithosphere, is split into several big and small plates. These tectonic ...

According to Face2Face Africa, the tear in the earth is more than 15m deep and more than 15m wide weaving through the arable land in Narok County. Experts say in about 50 million years, the ...

The data shows a hard ice shell on the surface of Europa (lithosphere), about 3.7 to 5 miles (6 to 8 km) deep. Below that is at least 7.4 miles (12 km) of warmer ice (asthenosphere) that convects ...
