Scientists have discovered yet another layer deep inside the core of the Earth, a new study suggests. "Traditionally we've been taught the Earth has four main layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer ...

Our Earth is structured sort of like an onion – it's one layer after another. Starting from the top down, there's the crust, which includes the surface you walk on; then farther down, the mantle, ...

It’s time to rewrite science textbooks. In a study, scientists claim to have discovered another layer in the Earth’s core. For many years, it has been widely believed that the Earth has four layers: ...

Data captured from seismic waves caused by earthquakes has shed new light on the deepest parts of Earth’s inner core, according to seismologists from The Australian National University (ANU). By ...

A new study from a University of Chicago scientist suggests there may be a layer of surprisingly fluid rock ringing the Earth, at the very bottom of the upper mantle. The finding was made by measuring ...

A new study provides the best evidence yet for a hidden layer deep within Earth’s solid inner core. Earth’s inner core, made of solid iron and nickel, is roughly two-thirds the size of the moon. The ...

Deep within Earth, there lies a mysterious layer called the D" layer. Located roughly 3,000 kilometers down, this zone sits just above the boundary between the planet's molten outer core and its solid ...

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