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 ...

Normally, younger rocks are deposited above older ones, forming predictable geologic layers. In the North Sea, this process ...

The mantle is the layer of the earth that lies below the crust and is by far the largest layer making up 84% of Earth's volume. The mantle starts at the Mohorovicic Discontinuity , also known as ...

The liquid outer layer of the core is responsible for producing Earth’s magnetic field, which is further stabilized by the solid inner section. [Related: The Earth’s inner core could be ...

Earth is made up of several layers: the lithosphere, asthenosphere, lower mantle (also known as mesospheric mantle), outer core and inner core.

These water layers make up more than 50% of its volume, or a depth of about 2000 km. The Earth, in comparison, has a negligible fraction of liquid water with an average ocean depth of less than ...

A new analysis of the chemical make-up of meteorites has helped scientists work out when the Earth formed its layers.The research by an international team of scientists confirmed the Earth's first ...

"The Snow Makes Things Exciting" is an easy way to remember these layers in order. Troposphere. Earth’s troposphere extends from Earth’s surface to, on average, about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles ...

Earth's outer layers can wander over its core, which causes so-called true polar wander. A model has figured out how Earth's bulge may cause the layers to snap back into place.
