Venus—a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes—may be even more geologically active near its surface than ...

Future missions to Venus could also supply additional data on the density and temperature of the planet's crust, which could ...

For example, the mineralogy of the Earth's mantle, especially near the Earth's core, has not been determined with certainty, or how the Earth's mantle influences convection in the Earth's core and ...

An ancient slab of Earth's crust buried deep beneath the Midwest is sucking huge swatches of present-day's North American crust down into the mantle, researchers say. The slab's pull has created ...

With an underlying universal theme of convection, a new textbook introduces upper-level geology, geophysics, physics, and engineering students to the geophysics behind the Earth System.

Science is advancing and with it, fascinating and unique things are being discovered, as has happened in the Pacific Ocean. A group of researchers from ETH Zurich and the Californi ...

A massive volcanic ridge beneath the Indian Ocean has just delivered a major surprise to geologists. According to a new study ...
