By analyzing factors such as crustal thickness, radioactive heat generation, and mantle heat flow, they simulated how heat ...

The Moon is much older than previously thought. Its crust was reheated after its formation - and has thus misled researchers ...

The world's oldest rocks are spread across the globe and paint a picture of Earth's turbulent early history. Here are some of the most notable and important formations scientists have discovered.

This volcanic history is decisive for determining the age of the crustal rock. Since their formation, lunar rocks (like terrestrial rocks) contain radioactive isotopes. Isotopes are variations of ...

and the consequent implications for crustal structure and tectonic evolution of continents. Much of my research involves the integration of tools from structural geology, petrology of all rock types, ...

Earth’s crust potentially holds a huge, untapped geothermal energy source: superhot rocks. Tapping into this geothermal ...

The Moon is far older than we once believed — but its fiery past has kept its true age hidden. New research reveals that, a ...

Resetting the geological clock This volcanic history is decisive for determining the age of the crustal rock. Since their formation, lunar rocks (like terrestrial rocks) contain radioactive isotopes.

Study reveals Mars' thick crust created granites and underground water, challenging previous geological views.

"Not only could thick crust in the southern highlands have generated ... "Granites aren't just rocks; they're geological archives that tell us about a planet's thermal and chemical evolution ...
