Gold-Sulfur Complex Found to Play Crucial Role in Gold Deposit Formation
An international team of scientists, led by Adam Simon, has uncovered the role of a gold-trisulfur complex in gold deposit formation. The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how this complex forms in the Earth's mantle under specific pressure and temperature conditions, especially in subduction zones ...

Earth’s Inner Core Might Be Slowing Down and Changing Shape, New Study Reveals
Research suggests Earth’s inner core, a metal sphere within the molten outer core, is slowing its spin and reshaping. Seismic wave analyses from earthquakes reveal discrepancies indicating deformation on the core’s surface or changes in rotation. John Vidale, a geophysicist from the University of Southern California, presented these findings, s...

Himalayas Mountain Range Formation Could Have Destroyed 30 Percent of Continental Crust, Says Study
A study published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters has found that up to 30% of Earth's continental crust may have been lost to the mantle during the formation of the Himalayas. Researchers from Monash University used a model to calculate crustal loss, revealing similar patterns in the European Alps and Zagros Mountains. The research highlight...

Indian Ocean Gravity Hole Might Have Been Formed After the Death of an Ancient Ocean
A vast anomaly in the Indian Ocean, called the gravity hole, has been studied for decades due to its weak gravitational pull and significantly lower sea levels. Recent findings link its origins to the ancient Tethys Ocean and mantle changes caused by tectonic plate shifts. Researchers used advanced models to simulate the geological processes, revea...

Geodynamic Mantle-Flow Model Reveals Erosion Process of North China Craton
New research from China University of Geosciences unveils how tectonic shifts eroded the once-stable North China Craton. Led by Professor Shaofeng Liu, this study explores flat-slab subduction processes, revealing three stages of deformation due to the ancient Izanagi plate’s horizontal movement beneath the Eurasian plate. This breakthrough redef...

Earth's Crust is ‘Dripping’ Beneath Turkey’s Konya Basin, Revealing Unique Geological Phenomenon
Researchers have uncovered a remarkable geological phenomenon beneath Türkiye’s Central Anatolian Plateau, where dense materials from Earth’s crust are detaching and sinking into the mantle below. This process, known as multi-stage lithospheric dripping, has been shaping the Konya Basin’s surface and provides crucial insights into Earth’s ...

Satellite Data Reveals How Earth's Crust Is 'Dripping' Beneath Turkey
The sinking is due to the multi-stage lithospheric dripping — a phenomenon named for the instability of rocky material that creates the crust and upper mantle of the Earth

Mars Gravity Maps Shows Strange Hidden Structures Underneath the Surface
Scientists have unveiled a new gravity map of Mars, revealing hidden structures beneath the surface and active processes affecting Olympus Mons. The map, presented at the Europlanet Science Congress 2024, challenges traditional geological models and shows dense structures under Mars' northern polar plains. Researchers suggest that a mantle plume mi...

Study Reveals Ultra-Low Velocity Zones May Be More Common in Earth's Mantle Than Previously Thought
A new study published in AGU Advances has unveiled intriguing findings about ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) in Earth's mantle, suggesting these mysterious features might be more widespread than previously thought.ULVZs, which are known to dramatically slow seismic waves by up to 50%, have long been associated with volcanic hotspots such as Hawaii...

Gargantuan Waves in Earth’s Mantle May Cause Continental Uplift, New Study Reveals
New research has unveiled that enormous waves within Earth's mantle are instrumental in forming high plateaus and dramatic cliff formations. This study explores how the rifting of continents triggers these mantle waves, which then propagate inward and lead to the rise of plateaus. By analyzing escarpments formed during the breakup of Gondwana, scie...
