The mantle is split up into two domains — the African and the Pacific — that emerged when supercontinent Pangaea broke apart.
Recent research has identified that significant changes in the Earth's mantle composition began about 300 million years ago, ...
Even after the breakup of Pangaea approximately 200 million years ago, the signatures of geological processes persisted in ...
Scientists have calculated the Earth to be 4.54 billion years old, with an uncertainty of 50 million years on either side.
Here’s how it works. Earth's mantle is split by the Pacific Ring of Fire, an ancient schism that reflects the creation and destruction of the supercontinent Pangaea, a new study finds.
横波的传播速度较慢,仅能在固体中传播。它的传播方式是通过岩石的侧向振动进行的。由于横波无法在液体中传播,因此在地震发生时,S波的到达时间可以用来判断地震波源的深度。
An unexpected find in tiny crystals hints that the Earth's mantle may not quite behave as has been believed for nearly a century.
Geology textbooks describe the Earth's mantle beneath its plates as a well-mixed viscous rock that moves along with those plates like a conveyor belt. But that idea, first set out some 100 years ...
"Interestingly, our validated model can effectively describe the space–time dynamics and topographic response of mantle slab ...
Thanks to a new study proves that Earth's inner core since 2010 has been rotating more slowly than usual. This intriguing ...
