A rare type of deep underground earthquake occurring in the Earth’s mantle has finally been isolated and mapped by Stanford researchers.

Measurements of seismic waves over many years suggest the Earth's core is deformed and reshaped by conditions of extreme heat ...

Stanford researchers have created the first-ever global map of a rare earthquake type that occurs not in Earth's crust but in ...

Potential patches of Earth's ancient crust, sometimes called "sunken worlds," may have just been discovered deep within the mantle, thanks to a new way of mapping the inside of our planet. However, ...

Ancient volcanic rocks reveal how two giant hot regions beneath Africa and the Pacific have shaped Earth's magnetic shield.

Earth’s solid inner core appears to have changed shape in the past 20 years or so, according to seismic wave measurements – but the behaviour of these waves could also be explained by other shifts at ...
