The mantle is split up into two domains — the African and the Pacific — that emerged when supercontinent Pangaea broke apart. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

“This study provides a first present-day example of how a cold downwelling from above is breaking up a deep mantle blob,” says Sanne Cottaar, a professor of global seismology at the University ...

The Earth's mantle might not always move along in lockstep with the overlying tectonic crust—as set out in science textbooks for decades—but may instead behave differently. This is the ...

Update 3:20pm: Adds analyst comment. Two former top executives at Linde Plc (LIN) are joining with Mantle Ridge as the activist investor pushes for changes at Air Products (NYSE:APD). Air Products ...

On present-day Earth, plate subduction continuously modifies the chemical composition of the convecting mantle, and various mantle sources linked to these processes have been widely studied.

From the deepest ocean trench to the tallest mountain, plate tectonics explains the features and movement of Earth's surface in the present and the past. The theory of plate tectonics was ...

Dennis Reilley and Eduardo Menezes are teaming up with Hilal's investment firm Mantle Ridge LP which has built a stake of more than $1 billion in Air Products, said the people who are prohibited ...

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 ...

On present-day Earth, plate subduction continuously modifies the chemical composition of the convecting mantle, and various mantle sources linked to these processes have been widely studied.

Traditionally, textbooks have described the mantle as a viscous, well-mixed layer that shifts along with tectonic plates, much like a conveyor belt. This theory has been a cornerstone of geology for ...
