The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

Scientists have uncovered new evidence to suggest that Earth is leaking gases from deep inside its mantle—even in regions ...

For the past similar to 200 Ma, eastern North America has been a passive continental margin; however, there is evidence in the Central Appalachian Mountains for post-rifting modification of ...

Determining if this high-velocity feature represents a small lithospheric root or foundering of orogenic lithosphere requires more integration of observations, but either interpretation implies a ...

Data from beneath regions north of the Kunlun–Ayimaqin suture showed that delay time was positively correlated with lithospheric thickness with an increase of 0.7 s per 100 km. This indicates that the ...

A trio of scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Université de Lyon, and Arizona State University, respectively ...

Helium is an immensely useful element in advanced applications like superconductors, rockets, and even lighter-than-air aircraft, but it’s not exactly easy to come by. Recent discoveries of ...

Out of 75 coronae examined, 52 showed signs of these underground forces still at work, hinting that tectonic activity may be ...

A new study of Venus suggests that the deeply inhospitable world may be more like Earth than we thought.

The rapid exhumation of the crust of the Jiaodong Peninsula terminated at approximately ca. 120±2 Ma, which may be due to the decoupling between crustal detachment and lithospheric mantle detachment ...
