A river of molten iron, more than 2,000 kilometers below the surface, appears to have pulled off something Earth scientists ...

No one knows why the river of liquid iron flowing 1,400 miles beneath our feet just reversed course.

Scientists discovered a mysterious reversal in Earth’s molten core flow beneath the Pacific using satellite data from space.

The research, published in the Journal of Studies of Earth’s Deep Interior, analyzed the behavior of the planet’s liquid ...

"The large-scale flow reversal beneath the Pacific raises new questions about the behavior of Earth's deep interior," ...

PACIFIC CITY, Ore. — Scott Burns, professor emeritus in geology at Portland State University, thought he had seen it all — until he saw a couple of photos of an extremely rare sand formation on the ...

Deep beneath the Pacific near the equator, Earth’s outer core now flows east instead of west. Dynamics deeper within our planet’s core may help explain the change and what to expect in the near future ...

The liquid iron in Earth's outer core doesn't always behave as expected. When it changed direction in an unexplained way, ESA ...

Compass readings that do not show the direction of true north and interference with the operations of satellites are a few of the problems caused by peculiarities of the Earth's magnetic field. The ...

Mysteries of Earth deepen with data from recent experiments that suggest temperatures in specific layers of interior TEMPE, Ariz. – Earth’s interior is not a benign world that only stores the geologic ...

Researchers have compiled the first global set of observations of flow within the Earth's mantle -- the layer between the crust and the core -- and found that it is moving much faster than has been ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured the amount of heat flowing from the molten metal of Earth’s core into a region at the base of the mantle, a process that helps drive both the ...
