Like all terrestrial planets, the Earth's interior is differentiated. This means that its internal structure consists of layers, arranged like the skin of an onion.

Like Don's stack of fish-wiches, this globe shows us the layers that make up our Earth-- the thin, solid outermost layer, the crust, the denser, deeper layer, the mantle, and, finally, the really ...

The entire outermost part of Earth is able to wander over the rest of the planet, and now researchers say in a new study detailed in the Nov. 8 issue of the journal Nature that they can explain ...

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

You may have been taught in school that the Earth is composed of layers, broadly separated into a crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. It turns out, according to new research, that there may ...

The experimental research could help crack the mystery of an elusive part of our planet known as the "E-prime layer," an area in the Earth's outer core that has long baffled scientists.
