Scientists found a rhythmic mantle plume beneath Ethiopia is slowly tearing Africa apart - hinting at the birth of a new ...

A previously unknown layer of partially molten rock has been detected beneath Earth’s crust. The discovery could help scientists learn more about the motions of Earth’s tectonic plates.

This layer, known as the D" layer, is about 1,900 miles underneath the Earth's surface, resting between the liquid outer core and the solid mantle, and varies massively in thickness across the globe.

Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird ...
