Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of any drill, new research suggests that Earth’s center is far more intricate ...

The research into what lies deep, deep beneath our feet has yielded precious few details over the past few decades. We all grew up learning that we live on the Earth's crust, which is just a thin ...

There may be hidden layers to Earth’s core dictated by chemical composition. In A Nutshell Lab experiments suggest Earth’s ...

Earth's inner layers have just got a bit more complicated, with scientists discovering a whole new inner core within the center of the planet. Research released on February 21 in the journal Nature ...

Deep within Earth, there lies a mysterious layer called the D" layer. Located roughly 3,000 kilometers down, this zone sits just above the boundary between the planet's molten outer core and its solid ...

There is more to the Earth than what we can see on the surface. In fact, if you were able to hold the Earth in your hand and slice it in half, you'd see that it has multiple layers. But of course, the ...

thermal characteristics (temperature changes), chemical composition, movement, and density. Each of the layers are bounded by "pauses" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics, chemical ...
