The hidden chemistry of the Earth’s interior may play a far more dramatic role in shaping continents than previously imagined. According to a groundbreaking studypublished in Science Advances, ...

A team of scientists have found a massive "gravity hole" in the historically mysterious and frozen continent of Antarctica. The question is, what is causing it?

A persistent "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica gives scientists a window into Earth's deep interior, showing how processes ...

"By dating these rocks and studying the magnetic anomalies they presented," the researchers said, "we were able to map the major geological units across North Zealandia." (CREDIT: Tectonic) Beneath ...

In 250 million years, Earth’s continents may merge into a supercontinent so extreme that most mammals would struggle to survive.

Deep within Earth’s mantle lie two enormous regions, often referred to as "islands," which are the size of continents.

Scientists recently published new ideas about why Earth’s toughest, oldest continents persist. These continents, known as cratons, have been on earth for more than two billion years. Andrew Zuza, an ...

A new study led by University of Wisconsin Oshkosh geologist Timothy Paulsen and Michigan Tech geologist Chad Deering advances the understanding of the role that continents have played in the chemical ...

Deep beneath your feet, far beyond where any drill can reach, something strange is hiding. Two continent-sized blobs of rock sit just above Earth’s core, hot, dense and stubbornly different from ...
