The Earth has a shell-like structure. It is divided into a core (inner and outer core), a mantle (lower and upper mantle, separated by a transition zone), and the earth's crust. You are free to share ...

Geophysicists at ETH Zurich are using models of the lower mantle to identify areas where earthquake waves behave differently than previously assumed. This indicates the presence of zones of rocks that ...
