A ‘ghost plume’ identified deep in the mantle beneath Oman suggests there may be more heat flowing out of Earth’s core than ...

Recent findings suggest that Earth’s mantle might harbor hidden plumes venting heat from the planet’s core, a discovery that ...

There's lots of heat underneath Yellowstone National ... could all ultimately be driven by this deep-mantle plume rising up from above the Earth’s core. None of this means that an eruption ...

It is a secondary way that Earth loses heat, much less important in this regard than is heat loss at plate margins. Some scientists think that plate tectonics cools the mantle, and mantle plumes ...

Mantle plumes that rise from the core boundary interest geoscientists because they play a role in Earth's total heat budget by moving heat from the core to the surface. "Whole mantle plumes ...

Do they originate in mantle plumes—vast upwellings of superhot rock from the earth's core— or in shallower reservoirs of heat in the upper mantle? Seismologists at the University of California ...

scientists have obtained the clearest picture yet of the earth's inner workings. The images provide long-awaited direct evidence for mantle plumes--large columns of heat emanating from the planet ...

We found big chunks of the impactor Theia.” With those five words to The New York Times, Caltech geophysicist Qian Yuan ...

Breakthrough discovery reveals gold and precious metals are slowly leaking from Earth's core through Hawaiian volcanoes.

The Earth can be viewed as a massive heat ... cooling to be compatible with a relatively high deep-mantle heat flow as indicated by the plume and numerical calculations. Improved constraints ...
