NASA’s Mars InSight has provided … well, insight, into the inner workings of the Red Planet. By monitoring “marsquakes” over the past two years the instrument has allowed scientists to measure the ...

The record-breaking mission offers an unprecedented opportunity to study the geology of our planet’s largest layer.

Quakes on Mars have unveiled its interior to an unprecedented degree, revealing surprising details about the Red Planet's crust, mantle and core. Measurements taken by NASA's InSight (Interior ...

Researchers have drilled a window into the layer of our Earth that is responsible for volcanic activity, crust formation, and earthquakes. The mantle is incredibly difficult to study because it’s so ...

Earth's internal structure consists of four layers: the crust, mantle, outer core (liquid iron), and inner core (solid iron), with temperatures increasing significantly with depth, reaching values ...

Extreme chemical reactions could explain why Earth's middle layer has so much carbon. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The ...

A new study uses previously unavailable data to confirm a correlation between the movement of plate tectonics on the Earth's surface, the flow of mantle above the Earth's core and the rate of reversal ...

The distance from the Earth's surface to its center is almost 4,000 miles—but our planet's structure is not uniform and is actually made up of several different layers, some of which are hotter than ...
