Researchers in Ethiopia’s Afar Rift reported a deep, rhythmic mantle “pulse” that is slowly tearing Africa apart to form a ...

But the Earth's interior has had over 4 billion years to evolve since then. To see what would happen with Theia fragments over that time, the researchers turned to yet another model of the viscous ...

Most geologists. however, assume that the earth's interior is hot and ascribe the great variation in the observed temperatures and gradients to differences in the thermal conductivity of the rocks ...
