While we can't see deep into the Earth, geologists have a variety of neat tricks to create a picture of our Earth's layers. Just like a kid's jawbreaker, Earth consists of layers that differ in ...

The layers of Earth provide geologists and geophysicists clues to how Earth formed, the layers that make up other planetary bodies, the source of Earth's resources, and much more. Modern advances have ...

The distance from the Earth's surface to its center is almost 4,000 miles—but our planet's structure is not uniform and is actually made up of several different layers, some of which are hotter than ...

There is more to Earth than what we can see on the surface. Both the exterior and interior regions of the planet are made up of many layers with various properties. These layers are formed because of ...

A study by researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) suggests the existence of a distinct fifth layer within Earth's inner core, termed an "innermost inner core," located approximately 3 ...

Advanced seismic imaging techniques could improve earthquake early warning models and aid the development of next-generation ...

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 ...
