The giant clam, known for its colorful cape-like mantle, wavy shell and astonishing size, is in danger of going extinct after ...

The study suggests that the deep mantle, where magma arises, is more uniform than scientists thought. Instead of being a stew-like mix of rock compositions, the mantle might be more like a blended ...

“This study provides a first present-day example of how a cold downwelling from above is breaking up a deep mantle blob,” says Sanne Cottaar, a professor of global seismology at the University ...

Giant clams are critically endangered, with populations down 80% due to overfishing and climate change. Conservationists are ...

Geology textbooks describe the Earth's mantle beneath its plates as a well-mixed viscous rock that moves along with those plates like a conveyor belt. But that idea, first set out some 100 years ...

On present-day Earth, plate subduction continuously modifies the chemical composition of the convecting mantle, and various mantle sources linked to these processes have been widely studied.

The Earth's mantle might not always move along in lockstep with the overlying tectonic crust—as set out in science textbooks for decades—but may instead behave differently. This is the ...

But landforms can also be created when the lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the relatively brittle upper layer of the mantle, gets especially thick. Mountains create a lot of pressure ...
