Scientists reveal what’s moving 1,800 miles beneath Earth’s surface for the first time
A new seismic study has uncovered large-scale deformation patterns nearly 1,800 miles beneath Earth’s surface. The findings point to a strong link between these movements and ancient tectonic slabs ...
(a, b) Images show deformation cell assemblage and microstructure of shear-deformed Al bearing-phase D aggregate under 20GPa, 800°C, conditions of lower mantle transition zone. Large deviation of ...
For the first time, an international team of scientists has built a global map of deformations in the lower mantle of the ...

Earth's basement finally mapped: Ancient sunken plates are making waves in the deep mantle
Sunken slabs from long-lost tectonic plates are still churning around in Earth's interior, far below your feet. In a new study, geologists have attempted to map the base of the mantle, close to where ...
Deep within Earth, subtle variations in how seismic waves travel are revealing a hidden pattern of deformation in the planet’s lowest mantle layer.
