New research reveals that only the oldest and fastest-sinking oceanic plates can transport water deep into Earth’s mantle, ...

The transition zone between the Earth’s upper and lower mantle contains considerable quantities of water, according to an international study involving the Institute for Geosciences at Goethe ...

Due to the radiative thermal conductivity of the mineral olivine, only oceanic plates over 60 million years old and ...

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 ...

One of the most challenging terrains in the seismic industry today is the transition zone between water and land. CGG has developed new techniques and designed new equipment to cope with the ...

Water stored in the mantle for millions of years may be linked to continental volcanism. The mantle transition zone (MTZ), which occurs 410–670 kilometers below Earth's surface, ...

The authors also found evidence that Earth’s water cycle is more than just what happens on the surface. "If there is a substantial amount of H 2 O in the transition zone, then some melting ...

The ESA's Mars Express probe has captured a striking image of Deuteronilus Cavus, a crater rich in insights. Located in a transition zone between the southern highlands and northern lowlands of Mars, ...
