Earth is made up of several layers: the lithosphere, asthenosphere, lower mantle (also known as mesospheric mantle), outer core and inner core.

Drilling stopped in 1992 because of equipment limitations with high heat, but the Kola Superdeep remains the deepest human-made hole in history. And yet, amazingly, the project’s incredible depth was ...

Scientists have detected rhythmic pulses of molten rock rising beneath eastern Africa, threatening to pull the continent ...

As the Aral Sea has been drained by irrigation and dried up, the mass loss on the surface has caused Earth’s upper mantle to rise up, lifting the emptied sea bed an average of 7 millimetres per year ...

The mantle is made up of different layers. The upper mantle is hard but below that is semi-molten rock called magma. Crust: The crust is the outer layer of the Earth on which we live.

Geoscientists have made an unprecedented achievement on their 60-year quest to know more about Earth's mysterious depths. Pieces of Earth’s rocky mantle were collected by a drilling vessel ...
