Anyone who saw the movie The Core all the way back in 2003 probably already knows everything about the inside of the planet already.
Earth’s Interior Is Cooling “Much Faster Than Expected”
Researchers at ETH Zurich have demonstrated in the lab how well a mineral common at the boundary between the Earth’s core and mantle conducts heat. This leads them to suspect that the Earth’s heat may dissipate sooner than previously thought.
Earth’s interior is cooling faster than thought
The evolution of the planet Earth can be described as the history of cooling over the past 4.5 billion years. The surface of the Earth was covered with a deep ocean of magma.
Mordor on Earth? Magma from the depths of hell is seeping through a mysterious crack
Somewhere in central Panama, there is an almost unearthly phenomenon of an opening going deep into the mantle. By Elizabeth RayneOriginal article Earth isn’t going to open up its gaping maw, dragonlike, and swallow us all into the inferno anytime soon, but it is exhaling hot breath somewhere under Panama. This obviously sounds like either …
Think Climate Change Is Messy? Wait Until Geoengineering
Someone's bound to hack the atmosphere to cool the planet. So we urgently need more research on the consequences, says climate scientist Kate Ricke.
‘New hidden world’ discovered in Earth’s inner core
The core isn't a "boring blob of iron" after all. Earth's "solid" inner core might actually be a bit mushy, researchers now find.
Warping of Planet’s Crust: Melting of Polar Ice Shifting Earth Itself, Not Just Sea Levels
Research by new Ph.D. finds warping of planet’s crust, with far-reaching effects.
New gravitational wave detector picks up possible signal from the beginning of time
Two intriguing signals spotted in a small gravitational-wave detector could represent all kinds of exotic phenomena — from new physics to dark matter interacting with black holes to vibrations from near the beginning of the universe.
Earth’s core is growing ‘lopsided’ and scientists don’t know why
The core is losing heat faster under Indonesia than it is under Brazil, and that's messing with the seismic waves passing through it.
Earth’s Burning, Churning Engine
New research has uncovered a flaw in our understanding of the core — specifically, about the manner in which heat energy flows from the core and through the overlying mantle.
