Hold onto your sense of balance. Scientists have found fresh proof that Earth doesn't just drift through space — sometimes, ...

before pulling it down into the Earth's mantle. This phenomenon is gradually stripping away material from the bottom of the continent's crust. Using a high-resolution seismic technique called full ...

Earth's crust today has a surprisingly similar composition ... previously thought to occur only in continental crusts made by the process of subduction, in which one tectonic plate slides under ...

Scientists found new evidence that Earth’s crust is peeling underneath the Sierra Nevada in California. The process might be how the continents formed, they say.

Earth’s uppermost layer, the lithosphere, is made up of the rigid crust and the top part of the mantle, which is in a denser, but more fluid state. This layer also contains Earth’s oceanic ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

The oldest crust on Earth, known to be unchanging, is actually being altered in real time. The North American continent is "dripping" rock into the lower layers of the Earth, new research says, and in ...
