A diagram of Earth's interior with water leaking toward the core Scientists may have finally found the cause of a mysterious, crystal-forming layer that surrounds Earth's core — "leaking water" that ...
Water leaking into the Earth may be wrapping the core in crystals, a study has suggested. The study may help explain a weird area in the outer core that has long puzzled scientists. One expert said ...
Scientists have long known that Earth's core is mostly made of iron, but the density is not high enough for it to be pure ...
Scientists now understand why seismic waves speed up near Earth's core. Extreme pressure and temperature cause solid mantle rock to flow slowly, aligning mineral crystals. This anisotropic structure ...
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 ...
