Thanks to a new study proves that Earth's inner core since 2010 has been rotating more slowly than usual. This intriguing ...

This created a rocky outer layer with a lower concentration of hafnium than before, and a metal core with much more tungsten in it. Today, all of the hafnium is gone because it has a short half-life ...

A new Stanford University study has uncovered a puzzling global phenomenon that challenges long-held assumptions about Earth's geological ... where did all the sediment go?'" ...

Scientists have always been curious about the atmosphere surrounding us, but in the past, they could not just hop on a spaceship to see what was up there. Instead, scientists hiked up high ...

Earth was a frozen wasteland. Then, rising CO2 caused a catastrophic thaw, turning Earth into a "slushy" planet.

Emerging evidence suggests that plate tectonics, or the recycling of Earth's crust, may have begun much earlier than ...

Many parts of Earth are covered and protected by a layer of organisms called a biocrust. The layer acts as a skin for the Earth, protecting landscapes and reducing long-term damage. But climate ...

This is how it can rotate at a different pace compared to the planet’s outer layers ... all kinds of studies using seismic data to try and get a better sense of what is going on in Earth ...

The ozone layer is a thin shield of gas in the Earth’s atmosphere that protects the planet, absorbing the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays and helping to preserve all life on the planet.

In fact, if there was no ozone layer at all, we wouldn’t be able to live on Earth. To answer that, we only have to look at one of our closest neighbours, Mars. As far as we’re aware ...

In the simulated future, two-thirds of the planet's ozone layer disappeared by 2065. Ozone holes swirled over both poles all year long, and most ozone disappeared from the tropics, too. The intensity ...

New evidence, based on how the moon responds to the gravitational pull of Earth and the sun, has lent support to the hypothesis that the moon does in fact possess such a molten layer hidden deep ...
