Geologists from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a breakthrough in understanding how Earth's early continents ...

Our planet has been asteroid-smashed, melted and eroded, enough that most of its original armor has been long buried. Except ...

By confirming the age of these rocks, and that they might just be the oldest rocks on Earth, we’re finally opening the door ...

A groundbreaking study has uncovered staggering reserve of natural hydrogen hidden deep within the Earth’s continental crust, a potential energy jackpot that could power humanity for the next ...

Scientists have discovered evidence that the Earth's crust is peeling away beneath California's Sierra Nevada mountain range.

Earth's crust today has a surprisingly similar composition to the planet's first outer shell, or "protocrust," new research finds. This early rocky shell featured chemical signatures previously ...

The research revealed that Earth’s first crust, formed about 4.5 billion years ago, likely had chemical features similar to those of today’s continental crust.

New Study Reveals Chemical Secret Of Earth's 4.5 Years Billion Crust In a newspaper published in Nature today, colleagues and I reveal secrets of Earth's crust 4.5 billion years ago.

Earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old. Some scientists argue that in its early form, the planet lacked plate tectonics and may have instead been characterised by a stagnant crust (imagine a fixed ...

A study published in Nature on 2 April reveals that Earth's first crust, formed about 4.5 billion years ago, probably had chemical features remarkably like today's continental crust.

The film explores the dynamic nature of Earth's crust, detailing how it has evolved over billions of years. Initially formed from molten rock, the crust cools and hardens, leading to the creation ...
