The transition zone (TZ) is the name given to the boundary layer that separates the Earth's upper mantle and the lower mantle.It is located at a depth of 410 to 660 kilometers. The immense ...

Geophysicists have long theorized that the mantle transition zone, wedged between the upper and lower mantle at depths of 410 to 660 kilometers, could be a secret vault for Earth’s lost water.

A peaceful transition away from fossil fuels will require new global agreements on how to manage mineral resources in the deep ocean as well as those associated with continents.

The transition zone within which calcium carbonate increasingly becomes chemically unstable and begins to dissolve is called the lysocline. Because the ocean seabed is relatively flat, even a rise ...

The transition zone's high water content has far-reaching consequences (Representational Image) Scientists have discovered a reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans beneath the ...

Experts say portions of the continent are pulling apart, creating the possibility that the Horn of Africa will become an island. This continent is slowly splitting apart, creating a new ocean Skip ...

Our research showed this zone has already risen by nearly 100 metres since pre-industrial times and will likely rise further by several hundreds of metres this century. Millions of square kilometres ...

The study confirmed something that for a long time was only a theory, namely that ocean water accompanies subducting slabs and thus enters the transition zone. This means that our planet's water ...
