Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

For example, the mineralogy of the Earth's mantle, especially near the Earth's core, has not been determined with certainty, or how the Earth's mantle influences convection in the Earth's core and ...

Overall, Professors Sun and Tkalčić determine that mantle convection is the primary cause of Mars's unusual dichotomy, not giant impacts as the alternative hypothesis suggests. But their research ...

Whether convection in the Earth's mantle extends through its entire depth or if the mantle is layered has long been debated. Recent research suggests that spatially and temporally intermittent or ...

Scientists from Utrecht University have discovered two enormous structures deep in Earth's mantle, suggesting that these ...

The Earth is made up of different layers: Therefore, instead of tectonic plates moving because of the convection currents, evidence suggests it is the plates that drive the convection. Slab pull ...
