Geologists confirm that industrial waste turns into rock in just 35 years, challenging traditional ideas about geological formation.

Beneath Earth s surface, nearly 3,000 kilometers down, lies a mysterious layer where seismic waves speed up inexplicably. For decades, scientists puzzled over this D' layer. Now, groundbreaking ...

To do this, the researchers measured the speed of seismic waves in their experiment and were also able to reproduce the jump that occurs at the D" layer in the laboratory.

Seismic waves unexpectedly speed up as they pass through the boundary of the D" layer, and a 2004 study seemed to find the answer: it showed that extreme pressures and extreme temperatures could ...

In our fast-paced world, finding effective ways to restore balance and well-being is essential. An emerging technology is ...

Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird acceleration of seismic waves. Experiments recreating the ...

A bad call on an ocean swim puts a surfer's retirement plans on the rocks. Written by Sean Murphy.

They have demonstrated why earthquake waves change abruptly at a depth of 2,700 kilometres at the so-called D‘’ layer. The reason for this is a type of solid rock that nevertheless flows. This mineral ...
