Scientists reconstructed 540 million years of sea level changes, showing Earth's oceans rose and fell by hundreds of feet ...

The origins of plate tectonics on Earth are hotly debated, but evidence from Australia now shows that parts of the crust ...

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

New research suggests that the thousands of dams built over the past two centuries have caused the Earth's poles to drift ...

Earth’s core is pretty dynamic. Its spin speeds up and slows down based on how its two primary layers are behaving. As we improve the waveform techniques used to study the deepest layer ...

The Earth’s interior is far more complex than what we are taught in school. Instead of just three layers- crust, mantle, and core- the Earth is made up of multiple intricate layers, each with ...

While Duncan’s previous work has received much acclaim, The Gorgeous Inertia of the Earth, though admirably serious, feels impenetrable.
