Stable parts of the Earth's crust may not be as immovable as previously thought. While much of the crust is affected by plate tectonic activity, certain more stable portions have remained ...

Researchers have compiled a list of "ingredients" that could help resource exploration companies locate huge reservoirs of clean hydrogen, a critical element in the transition away from fossil fuels.

One of the most confusing mysteries in geology has been 'The Great Unconformity,' a phenomenon where massive sections of Earth’s crust appear to be missing from the geological record ...

According to the team, at intervals within those billion or so years, up to a third of Earth’s crust was sawn off by Snowball Earth’s roaming glaciers and their erosive capabilities.

Earth is made up of several layers. Layers based on chemical composition are the core, mantle and crust. According to mechanical properties, Earth's layers are the lithosphere, asthenosphere ...

Here’s how it works. By studying river crystals in Finland, researchers have identified traces of a hidden chunk of Earth's crust from the heart of an ancient continent, a new study has found.

One potential criticism of the project is that it focuses on drawing CO2 out of the air ... under high temperatures and pressure in Earth’s crust for millions of years — has sent planet ...

A major explosion could see "fountains of diamonds" erupt from the Earth's crust during a geological event. Gernon and his researchers analysed kimberlites - rock which contains diamonds - and ...

Earth's first crust, formed around 4.5 billion years ago, likely had chemical features similar to today's continental crust, suggesting that the distinctive chemical signature of continents was ...

journeys into the planet’s crust to hunt for signs of life. “You get into a small truck or vehicle and go down a long, winding roadway that corkscrews down into the Earth,” she tells The Scientist. By ...

This information could help answer a fundamental question about our planet and could even help scientists understand more about the formation of other planets. Aerial view of the Earth’s surface ...

The research could shed light on how these pieces of the Earth's crust interact and how they relate to seismic activity back on the surface — in addition, that is, to giving us a fresh sense of ...
