A computer model visualization of material in the lower mantle. This material resembles a sunken plate but cannot come from subducted plates because of the lack of nearby subduction zones.

These approaches aim to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of material characterization while minimizing the need for destructive testing. One significant advancement in the field is the ...

How plate tectonics works The driving force behind plate tectonics is convection in the mantle. Hot material near Earth's core rises, and colder mantle rock sinks. "It's kind of like a pot boiling ...

Earth scientists are using a high-resolution model to study the Earth's mantle. They hope to use it to find out where plate material that has sunken into the Earth's interior is located. The new ...
