Image: Tiny crystals called zircons are used to date oceanic crust. A newly developed method that detects tiny bits of zircon in rock reliably predicts the age of ocean crust more than 99 percent of ...

Scientists have discovered an unusually thick rock layer, approximately 20 kilometers deep, beneath the Bermuda Triangle. This geological feature, unl ...

The Earth's oceanic crust covers an enormous expanse, and is mostly buried beneath a thick layer of mud that cuts it off from the surface world. Scientists now document life deep within the oceanic ...

Professor YAO Huajian's research group from the School of Earth and Space Sciences of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in cooperation with Dr. Piero Poli from Grenoble-Alpes ...

Deep beneath the ocean floor off the Pacific Northwest coast, scientists have described the existence of a potentially vast realm of life, one almost completely disconnected from the world above.

Figure 2: Geologic cross-sections and layer 2A event picks. As expected, the imaging environment is poor at the scarp edge and we cannot image the layer 2A event at the exact locations of the ...

Deep beneath the Bermuda Triangle, a colossal stone structure has been unearthed, challenging everything we thought we knew about this mysterious region.

Scientists say they've found an unexpected, 12.4-mile-thick layer of rock lurking below Bermuda's oceanic crust.

A newly developed method that detects tiny bits of zircon in rock reliably predicts the age of ocean crust more than 99 percent of the time, making the technique the most accurate so far. After ...
