New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead ...

It is found in the depths of Indian Ocean and named as the gravity hole or Indian Ocean geoid low, an anomaly where gravity ...

These ancient buried "super-continents"—known to scientists as large low-seismic-velocity provinces (LLSVPs)—were found lurking below Africa and the Pacific Ocean, entombed some 1,200 miles below the ...

This is a 3D view of the top 1,000 kilometers of the earth's mantle beneath ... between seismically-slow "plumes" and channels imaged in the study. Green cones on the ocean floor mark islands ...

These are common in the Pacific Ocean; Hawai'i is a famous example. They form from large blobs of rock that slowly rise from ...

Over 25 years ago, researchers discovered that some of these deep Earth reverberations pointed to the existence of two underground “super-continents” hundreds of miles beneath Africa and the Pacific ...

Using a nearly 200-year record of lava chemistry from Kīlauea and Maunaloa, earth scientists from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and colleagues revealed that Hawaiʻi’s two most active volcanoes ...

The Indian Ocean "gravity hole ... the presence of low-density magma plumes beneath the gravity hole, which could confirm the model’s predictions about mantle activity. Earth’s Hidden Blobs ...

The two giant blobs — one beneath the Pacific Ocean and one beneath Africa ... shows how tectonic plates dive into the mantle, while mantle plumes fed by LLSVPs bring deep mantle material ...
