Scientists digging deep into the Earth’s mantle not too long ago made an surprising discovery. 5 hundred and fifty kilometers beneath the Earth’s floor, they discovered extremely oxidized iron, just like the rust we see on our planet’s floor, inside … Continue reading
Plate tectonics has shaped the Earth’s surface for billions of years: Continents and oceanic crust have pushed and pulled on each other, continually rearranging the planet’s façade. As two massive plates collide, one can give way and slide under the … Continue reading

Geologists have created a computer model of tectonic activity so effective that they believe it has potential to predict where earthquakes and volcanoes will occur. Scientists focused on the deep mantle and its relationship to plate tectonics. Geology News — … Continue reading
Researchers believe that it is possible for natural diamonds to form at the base of the Earth’s mantle, giving new clues to what may be found in our planet’s interior. Geology News — ScienceDaily
De beers south africa Researchers at Tohoku University believe that it is possible for natural diamonds to form at the base of the Earth’s mantle. The formation of such “super-deep” diamonds was simulated using high-pressure and high-temperature experiments by the … Continue reading

A group of former and current Arizona State University researchers say chemical differences found between rocks samples at volcanic hotspots around the world can be explained by a model of mantle dynamics that involves plumes, upwellings of abnormally hot rock … Continue reading
