India is changing drastically under the Earth's surface, as a new study has revealed that the Indian Continental Plate could be splitting in two.
A team led by geoscientists Yachong An and Hao Ding of Wuhan University have determined that Earth's inner core wobbles with a periodicity of 8.5 years.
The Earth would only have to heat up by a few dozen degrees to spur runaway warming, making it as inhospitable as Venus, a planet whose average surface temperature is around 464 degrees Celsius, according to NASA.
Made some 3,000 years ago, the Mesopotamian bricks contain grains of iron oxide that, to the right interpreter, reveal fascinating changes in the magnetic field that runs through and envelops Earth in a protective barrier.
A study conducted by Hungarian scientists sheds light on the unpredictability and potential dangers of long dormant volcanoes.
The location of the north magnetic pole has moved by about 965 kilometers since the first measurement was taken in 1831. This could indicate the beginning of a field reversal, but scientists really can’t tell with less than 200 years of data.
Researchers unveiled megabeds formed by supervolcano eruptions in the Mediterranean Sea, offering insights into volcanic history.
A large hole in the Antarctic ozone layer once thought to be steadily closing could actually be widening, according to new research.
Water from Earth's surface can find its way deep into the planet, and new research explains how it changes the outermost region of the metallic liquid core.
The burst that originated some 2.4 billion light-years away from Earth and struck the planet on 9 October last year may have led to changes in the upper ionosphere, according to a new study.
A new study finds that Earth itself has a pulse, with one “beat” every 27.5 million years. That’s the rate at which major geological events have been occurring as far back as geologists can tell.
Around 155 million years ago, a 5,000 km long piece of continent,Argoland, broke off western Australia and drifted away. As it turns out, Argoland is now in fragments, but is still there.
New global data, along with other ocean, satellite and regional seismic studies, show a decadeslong increase in wave energy that coincides with increasing storminess attributed to rising global temperatures.
A pyramid hidden within a hill on an island in West Java, Indonesia, could be the world’s oldest. Gunung Padang, also known as “mountain of enlightenment”, sits at the top of an extinct volcano and is considered a sacred site by locals.
Long ago, an alien planet crashed into Earth – causing a collision so big the debris formed the Moon and left mysterious remnants lodged deep in the Earth’s mantle.
