The ocean floor has a huge crack where the earth’s crust is violently created constantly. Magma rises, then cools, pushing aside older crust and leaving younger crust in its wake. It’s called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which hosts a continental plate divorce court with the Eurasian and North...
The slight deformation of the crust explains 25 percent to 45 percent of the unusually low gravity; the rest may be explained by a downward drag caused the motion of magma in Earth's mantle (the layer just beneath the crust), researchers reported in the journal Science. 15. The magnetic ...
The Earth is the densest planet in the Solar System. This varies according to the part of the planet; for example, the metallic core is denser than the crust. The average density of the Earth is approximately 5.52 grams per cubic centimetre. ...
In contrast, a new study done by geologists from MIT and Purdue University in 2011, mapped rock layers within the crust. They could find no evidence of a single thermal plume. Instead, they found a “pancake shaped” layer of abnormally hot rock in the crust only about 403 miles beneath ...

As the rift widened with time, it led to the expansion or the spreading of the sea floor. Magma welled up along this rift and formed a new oceanic crust, ultimately forming the Red Sea. The Gulf of Suez is an extension of the Red Sea and gradually took shape due to rifting and seafl...

“Crack into the sesame seed crust (芝麻的酥皮) of a shaobing to reveal tender (柔软的) layers that are rich with wheat flavor,” said Jen Rose Smith, a pastry chef-turned-writer at CNN. The special techniques that go...
Facts About the Mantle The mantle itself can be broken up into separate layers: the upper and lower mantle, which also consist of different layers. The upper mantle begins beneath the crust at the Mohorovicic discontinuity and makes up the asthenosphere and part of the lithosphere. The mantle ...
