There is more to the Earth than what we can see on the surface. In fact, if you were able to hold the Earth in your hand and slice it in half, you'd see that it has multiple layers. But of course ...

Troposphere: This is the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere. The bottom of the troposphere is at Earth’s surface, and it extends up about 6.2 miles (or 33,000 feet).

The layers of Earth provide geologists and geophysicists ... The mantle extends down to 2,890 km into the Earth's surface Temperatures that range from 500 to 900 degrees Celsius in the upper ...

Usually, geologic layers build on one another, with younger rocks piling on top of older ones. A new study, however, shows ...

Water leaking into the Earth may be wrapping the core in crystals, a study has suggested. The study may help explain a weird area in the outer core that has long puzzled scientists.

A group of scientists has discovered a hidden layer of molten rock under the Earth’s surface. The new layer is located around 100 miles beneath the surface and appears to extend below much of ...

Scientists have long suspected that Earth's inner core was made of two layers. But it wasn't until ANU researchers took a closer look at what lies below that an “innermost inner core" was confirmed..

The newly identified molten layer is located 100 miles (161 kilometers) below the Earth’s surface. This layer is a part of the asthenosphere, which sits beneath the tectonic plates.
