The Earth's inner core may be influenced by the outer core's movement, changing its shape and rotation.

Discovery of a doughnut-shaped structure in Earth's core may provide insights into its magnetic field and light element concentration.

The magnetic North Pole is moving towards Russia due to geothermal activity and is influenced by solar storms, not geopolitical factors.

Earth's inner core is changing shape, shedding light on its dynamics and potential implications for Earth's rotation and magnetic field.

Geophysicists discovered remnants of submerged tectonic plates deep below the Pacific Ocean, challenging existing geological models and expanding our understanding of Earth's structure.

Xavier Le Pichon revolutionized our understanding of tectonic plates and their movements, significantly advancing the field of geodynamics.

Discovery of ancient seafloor below the Pacific Ocean could rewrite understanding of Earth's history and tectonic dynamics.

An ancient slab of seafloor has been discovered beneath the Pacific, providing insights into deep Earth geology.

The slab has implications for understanding the Earth's mantle dynamics over millions of years.

The Earth's inner core is changing shape, challenging previous beliefs about its structure.

New research indicates the outer core's turbulence may affect the inner core's rotation.

Understanding geological timescales reshapes our perception and response to contemporary environmental issues and promotes a broader appreciation of Earth's history.

Unexpected accumulation of beryllium-10 found in the Pacific Ocean could provide insights into Earth's geological history.

Earth's inner core is changing shape, revealing dynamic processes that may affect Earth's rotation and magnetic field.

Earth's inner core is changing shape, affecting seismic waveforms and potentially influencing the Earth's magnetic field.

A judge has blocked a proposed cut to NIH grants that would have severely impacted university and hospital research funding.

Scientists have discovered a weak, planet-wide electric field, previously hypothesized, which may influence Earth's evolution and the search for hospitable exoplanets.

Cosmic rays bombard Earth from cosmic sources, comprising primarily protons and electrons, and provide insights to ongoing scientific debates.

Very high-energy electrons cannot travel far in space, suggesting local creation.

Human activity threatens Earth's critical life-support systems, with urgent action needed to stabilize ecosystems and limit resource extraction.

This year saw severe hurricanes like Beryl and Helene, causing unprecedented destruction and highlighting ongoing climate trends.

Decisive action is urgently needed to address the worsening climate crisis.

Earth had a ring system 466 million years ago during a global cooling event known as the Hirnantian Icehouse.

The collision with Theia, another planetary object, may have given rise to plate tectonics on Earth.

Plate tectonics is crucial for life on Earth, stabilizing climate and providing minerals, yet its origins and timing remain unclear.
