Two perplexing structures deep inside Earth might be ancient remnants of our early planet, and they could hold clues about ...

Deep beneath Earth’s surface, two enigmatic giant blobs have puzzled scientists for decades. Now, new research offers fresh ...

We finally know where two giant blobs in Earth's middle layer came from — and they're a mismatched pair. These strange regions in Earth's mantle, known as "large low velocity provinces" (LLVPs), are ...

About 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) below our feet, two enormous patches of strange rock sit above Earth’s core. New ...

Volcanic eruptions can destroy essential infrastructure, ground air traffic for days, wipe out entire cities, disrupt the climate for years, and even wipe out life on Earth, so it's important to know ...

Deep beneath your feet, far beyond where any drill can reach, something strange is hiding. Two continent-sized blobs of rock sit just above Earth’s core, hot, dense and stubbornly different from ...

Seismic imaging has exposed two massive zones hidden deep in Earth’s mantle. These giant blobs, known as large low-velocity provinces, or LLVPs, stretch beneath Africa and the Pacific. They are so ...

By integrating seismic data, mineral physics and geodynamic modeling, the study reconceived large low-shear velocity provinces and ultra-low-velocity zones as vital clues to Earth’s formative ...

The oldest parts of Earth's continents are called cratons, and underneath, they are rooted to the mantle of the planet. Scientists have now discovered that the roots below the North American continent ...

(CNN) — There’s a giant blob of incredibly hot rock beneath New Hampshire — and it may be part of the reason the Appalachian Mountains are still standing tall, according to new research. It has, ...

For decades, scientists have been baffled by two enormous, enigmatic structures buried deep inside Earth with features so vast and unusual that they defy conventional models of planetary evolution.
