A new study has revealed that two continent-sized regions in Earth's deep mantle have distinctive histories and resulting ...
A breakthrough study has provided the most detailed 3D look yet at the inner workings of the Tonga Subduction Zone, where ...
Deep within Earth’s mantle lie two enormous, continent-sized structures known as LLVPs. Scientists once believed these ...
Beneath the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, a strange phenomenon has puzzled scientists for decades—a massive gravitational ...
Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic ...
By combining a model of mantle convection, including a reconstruction of how tectonic plates have moved over the Earth's surface over the last billion years, the study has been able to show that ...
High-Resolution Anisotropic Tomography Reveals Mantle Flow Complexity and Slab-Plume Interactions, Redefining Subduction Zone ...
Scientists have been investigating colossal structures that exist deep inside of Earth's mantle beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean.
A new study led by researchers at Cardiff University, the University of Oxford, the University of Bristol, and the University of Michigan has revealed ...
The emerging model of mantle convection suggests that some relatively cool subducting slabs of oceanic plate (blue) are deflected at the 660 km discontinuity (dashed black line) whereas others ...
