Earth's hot ... and mantle as an interconnected, dynamic system, the researchers reported Oct. 30 in the journal Science Advances. Previously, researchers would make models of heat-driven ...

Heat transport in the Earth's mantle and in the atmosphere is probably ... thermal boundary layer into the gas. Here, a thermal plume develops which carries hot or cold gas into the interior ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

buoyant rock rise as plumes from deep within Earth's mantle -- the layer between the crust and the core that makes up most of Earth's volume -- and supply the heat that feeds these mid-plate ...

Under the extreme pressures and temperatures deep in the Earth, minerals are squeezed ... one-third of that,” Lay said. Such a high heat flow supports the idea that the upwelling of hot plumes of ...

These locations are among the 50 volcanic hotspots on the planet, where heat from the Earth's mantle rises in a plume, melting rock at the base of the tectonic plates that form Earth's surface.
