Researchers mapped a pulsing mantle plume under Afar that channels molten rock upward, stretching Africa’s crust until it ...

Scientists have traced a 60-million-year volcanic trail from Iceland to Ireland to a deep mantle plume that shaped the North ...

Something unusual is happening deep within Earth’s mantle,around 1,700 miles below the surface, where seismic waves accelerate in a way that has left scientists scratching their heads for decades.

Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird ...

Scientists discover hidden "ghost plume" beneath Oman using earthquake data, revealing Earth's secret heat pathways.

The unusually warm section of the Earth’s mantle beneath Oman sparked curiosity about hidden plumes that shift known ideas of Earth’s processes.

By analysing how the Earth's plates moved in the past, the researchers concluded that the Dani plume likely arrived during the late Eocene period and even influenced how the Indian plate moved.

Scientists have been baffled to discover solid rock flowing 1,700 miles (2,700km) beneath the Earth's surface.

A ‘ghost plume’ identified deep in the mantle beneath Oman suggests there may be more heat flowing out of Earth’s core than ...

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found. The elements emerge when ocean islands form.

There have been proposed hypotheses as to how the Moon could have developed a core dynamo. For instance, a 2022 analysis suggested that in the first billion years, when the Moon was covered in molten ...
