Our Earth is structured sort of like an onion – it's one layer after another. Starting from the top down, there's the crust, which includes the surface you walk on; then farther down, the mantle, ...

Physicists have come closer to solving one of the biggest mysteries in geophysics: how the Earth powers its magnetic field. The team, from the University of Texas at Austin and collaborators at ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown doughnut-shaped region within Earth's outer core, offering new insights into the dynamics of the planet's magnetic field. Located thousands of kilometers ...

ANU geophysicist Professor Hrvoje Tkalčić says that the dynamics of Earth's magnetic field is an area of strong interest in the scientific community. A doughnut-shaped region thousands of kilometres ...

The surface of Earth's inner core appears to be dynamic, changing shape as it rotates, earthquake waves reveal. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

USC scientists have proven that the Earth’s inner core is backtracking — slowing down — in relation to the planet’s surface, as shown in new research published Wednesday in Nature. Movement of the ...
