New research from HKU geologists suggests that Earth's first continents were born not from plate tectonics, but from deep ...

How geologically active was the Moon when it first formed and shortly after? This is what a recent study presented at the Goldschmidt 2025 conference hopes | Space ...

Scientists have detected deep pulses in the Earth beneath Africa – and it could tear the continent apart.The pulses are made up of molten mantle rock surging in rhythm, the researchers say. The plume ...

Ancient rises in sea levels and global warming are partially attributable to cyclical activity below Earth's surface, researchers have concluded in an analysis of geological studies. However ...

In this lesson, students learn why, where, and how earthquakes happen. Students are introduced to the interior structure of the Earth and plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the engine behind the ...

They analyzed records of past earthquakes, sunspot activity, and changes in Earth’s surface temperature. Their results showed that including solar heat and temperature data improved earthquake ...

Ancient rises in sea levels and global warming are partially attributable to cyclical activity below the earth's surface, researchers from New York University and Ottawa's Carleton University have ...

The global "hum" of the Earth is now helping scientists probe the planet's deep interior, a group of researchers say. Since this hum -- called seismic noise, which is generated by sources such as ...

Princeton geosciences professor Jeroen Tromp and his team have embarked on an ambitious project to use earthquakes to map the Earth's entire mantle, the semisolid rock that stretches to a depth of ...

Scientists say they’ve confirmed Earth’s inner core has been slowing down. Here’s what it could mean — and why the topic has been the subject of fierce debate.

The sun will reach solar maximum, or a peak in activity across its 11-year cycle, about a year sooner than originally predicted. Auroras, solar flares and space weather are all expected to increase.
