Mantle convection linked to seaway closure that transformed Earth's oceanographic circulation patternsDr. Straume and colleagues investigated the role of mantle convection to explain these changes by using present-day measurements from seismic tomography (imaging Earth's interior using seismic ...
An update of the convection code ASPECT enables full coupling of plume dynamics with buoyancy effects of transition zone ...
Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic field.
Scientists have been investigating colossal structures that exist deep inside of Earth's mantle beneath Africa and the ...

The Earth’s Core Is Not as Solid As We Thought, Yet Another Study SpeculatesA new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than ...
The emerging model of mantle convection suggests that some relatively cool subducting slabs of oceanic plate (blue) are deflected at the 660 km discontinuity (dashed black line) whereas others ...
High-Resolution Anisotropic Tomography Reveals Mantle Flow Complexity and Slab-Plume Interactions, Redefining Subduction Zone ...
are where tectonic plates pull apart due to convection currents in the mantle. Most constructive plate boundaries are found on ocean floors. Some of these undersea volcanoes become so large that ...
A new study led by researchers at Cardiff University, the University of Oxford, the University of Bristol, and the University ...
