We all know that the Earth is huge, but what is it made of? Join Jessi and Squeaks for a fun activity to learn about Earth's layers, and to make your own model of Earth!

Scientists are trying to figure out if they can predict big earthquakes by simulating small quakes in labs and studying big quakes under the ocean. Thanks to the University of Rhode Island for...

Researchers from the Australian National University have found evidence of an additional layer inside the Earth’s inner core

Whatever is inside the earth is very hot. The trail of clues leads to the model of a metallic core surrounded by a rocky mantle. Huge, slow convection currents rise up, often resulting in earthquakes and volcanoes.

While the weather in Iceland is often cold, wet, and windy, a nearly endless supply of heat bubbles away below the surface. In fact, almost every building in the country is heated by geothermal energy in a process with virtually no...

In Siberia’s thawing tundra, huge craters are being punched out of the Earth’s crust from below — by huge explosions. Scientists suspect that global warming is the culprit.

This live-action video program is about the word biosphere. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word biosphere through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful,...

We think we know how mountains form. Plate tectonics causes rock to be pushed up at fault boundaries. Except that model is hard to prove, and a new study suggests it might actually be a lot more complicated.

If the 10 kilometer wide asteroid that hit the Earth 66 million years ago hit just a few minutes later, would the outcome of the living creatures here have been different?

We've talked about free market economies and command economies, but the truth of the matter is that nearly every country on Earth utilizes a mixed economy, which blends aspects of each of the aforementioned economy types. Whether talking...

We just learned about plate tectonics, so let's see how that fits into a global-scale model for the formation and destruction of supercontinents called the Wilson Cycle. How do supercontinents like Pangea form and split up? It's an...

This video discusses the techniques used by geologists to create 3D maps of layers beneath the Earth's surface, specifically for oil exploration. These maps help oil companies identify the best drilling locations to access oil...

For the first time, NASA’s Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) has observed the merging of multimillion-degree X-ray spots on the surface of a magnetar, a supermagnetized stellar core no larger...

Extraterrestrial life in the universe might be rarer than scientists thought; here’s why. NASA’s Crazy Plan to Send a Space Submarine to Titan -='https://youtu.be/UYusz-MIJ4c' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Titan - Read life: Paucity...

CREDITS Design and animation: Reshenda Wakefield Narration: Dale Bennett Script: Alistair Haynes In this video, we will look at the chemistry behind the production of iron from iron ore. In early Earth history, iron, like all other...

You may have read that 2018 is looking to be a bad year for earthquakes, but Hank is here to offer you some assurances.

It’s not easy to find active plate tectonics on other worlds, but doing so may bring us one step closer to finding a planet that can support life.
