They used seismic waves to examine the types of rock beneath the seafloor and create a digital cross-section of Earth's crust and mantle. Their exploration revealed an unusually thick mantle ...

The Earth has a layered structure made up of the core, the mantle and the crust. Different elements are present in different parts of the Earth’s structure. The crust is made from enormous ...

The researchers used seismic waves to examine the types of rock beneath the seafloor and create a digital cross-section of Earth's crust and mantle. The team published its findings Sept.

The breakthrough comes thanks to "superdeep, superhot" rocks miles below the surface of Earth's crust, according to a press release published by distribution platform EurekAlert. Previously ...
