Scientists have discovered an unusually thick rock layer, approximately 20 kilometers deep, beneath the Bermuda Triangle.

Image: Tiny crystals called zircons are used to date oceanic crust. A newly developed method that detects tiny bits of zircon in rock reliably predicts the age of ocean crust more than 99 percent of ...

The Bermuda Triangle may not be the biggest mystery of the Atlantic. In a new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, scientists believe they have discovered the reason why ...

Professor YAO Huajian's research group from the School of Earth and Space Sciences of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in cooperation with Dr. Piero Poli from Grenoble-Alpes ...

Science researchers have detected a massive 12.4-mile-thick layer of rock beneath Bermuda's ocean crust, the first structure ...

The Earth's oceanic crust covers an enormous expanse, and is mostly buried beneath a thick layer of mud that cuts it off from the surface world. Scientists now document life deep within the oceanic ...

Volcanic islands, like the famed Hawaiian chain, are typically buoyed by hot, active magma plumes pushing up the Earth’s ...

Figure 2: Geologic cross-sections and layer 2A event picks. As expected, the imaging environment is poor at the scarp edge and we cannot image the layer 2A event at the exact locations of the ...

Figure 1: The variation of the transformed volume fraction with duration at the desired temperature. Figure 2: Transmission electron micrographs showing microstructures of the reaction zone in the ...

A newly developed method that detects tiny bits of zircon in rock reliably predicts the age of ocean crust more than 99 percent of the time, making the technique the most accurate so far. After ...
