Earth is made up of several layers: the lithosphere, asthenosphere, lower mantle (also known as mesospheric mantle), outer core and inner core.

One of geology’s basic principles is that the Earth is made up of four layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. But this may be squashed in light of a new study that ...

Scientists have long wondered what lies at the center of the Earth. New research is putting weight behind a theory that our home planet has a distinct ball of iron within its metallic core.

The Earth is made up of a total of 7 layers which are- crust, lithosphere (crust and uppermost mantle), asthenosphere (upper mantle directly below the lithosphere), lower mantle, ...

"Such multi-decadal oscillations also exist in the other Earth layers, such as the outer core, mantle and surface, indicating a possible resonating Earth system." Two major forces act on the inner ...

Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird ...

Earth’s atmosphere comprises multiple layers, each with its own role. Above the troposphere, Earth ’s innermost layer (which contains Earth’s oxygen and houses what we call weather), is the ...

Scientists have long wondered what lies at the center of the Earth. New research is putting weight behind a theory that our home planet has a distinct ball of iron within its metallic core.

Chinese scientists believe Earth's core has reversed rotation 00:47. Scientists have long wondered what lies at the very center of the Earth, and the latest research is putting weight behind a ...
