The colossal movements of tectonic plates shape our world, influencing the composition of Earth’s atmosphere, the planet’s ...

The Earth’s crust is disappearing right beneath our feet – and most people don’t even realise it. Now, if you’re a geologist, or got a keen interest in how the Earth is put together, then this ...

Rocks from Australia have given scientists the oldest direct proof that Earth's surface was moving in separate pieces 3.5 ...

In the last billion years, enough hydrogen gas has been produced by Earth's continental crust to supply mankind's energy needs for at least 170,000 years. While a proportion of this has been lost, ...

PCWorld reports that scientists discovered Earth’s inner core has slowed its rotation relative to the crust, even appearing to stop moving in a phenomenon that occurs every 35 years. This iron-nickel ...

An artistic reconstruction of Earth during the Hadean eon (~4.5 billion years ago). Intense volcanic activity, heat from accretion, and frequent impacts kept the young Earth in a molten state. This ...

The impact produced the Moon and left Earth's interior completely molten. A solid crust began forming around 4.5 billion years ago, although scientists have long debated what unfolded after that point ...
