While we can't see deep into the Earth, geologists have a variety of neat tricks to create a picture of our Earth's layers. Just like a kid's jawbreaker, Earth consists of layers that differ in ...

The layers of Earth provide geologists and geophysicists clues to how Earth formed, the layers that make up other planetary bodies, the source of Earth's resources, and much more. Modern advances have ...

The distance from the Earth's surface to its center is almost 4,000 miles—but our planet's structure is not uniform and is actually made up of several different layers, some of which are hotter than ...

A study by researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) suggests the existence of a distinct fifth layer within Earth's inner core, termed an "innermost inner core," located approximately 3 ...

There is more to Earth than what we can see on the surface. Both the exterior and interior regions of the planet are made up of many layers with various properties. These layers are formed because of ...

The idea that the Earth has four layers has long been considered a basic tenet of geology, taught to schoolchildren around the globe. Think of it like an onion: First there is the crust, which is ...

The North Sea, a region known for its rich history and vital role in energy production, holds a surprising geological anomaly. A study led by scientists from the University of Manchester has uncovered ...
