Far out in the Atlantic, Bermuda rises from the ocean as if it’s breaking the rules of geology. It sits on a broad hump in ...

The Earth's mantle might not always move along in lockstep with the overlying tectonic crust—as set out in science textbooks for decades—but may instead behave differently. This is the conclusion of ...

Scientists have identified two massive thermochemical formations at Earth's core-mantle boundary that refine understanding of the planet's interior architecture. Using advanced seismic modeling ...

Many seismologists and researchers have long believed the Earth possesses a fast flowing and well-mixed mantle. But that theory may require some revisions according to new findings from researchers at ...

Far below the turquoise waters and pink-sand beaches of Bermuda, scientists have stumbled on something that should not be ...

Today, oceans cover about 70% of Earth’s surface. This stark contrast has long driven scientific interest in how water ...

Barbara John, left, a professor in the UW Department of Geology and Geophysics, and Frieder Klein, from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, describe core hosting some of the mantle rocks recovered ...
