The Earth's ozone layer is recovering, a study by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has shown. Scientists have found that the total level of ozone cover in the stratosphere in 2024 was ...

The mantle is Earth's largest and thickest layer. What proportion of the planet's total volume does it make up? What proportion of the planet's total volume does the crust make up? Diamonds are formed ...

Processes occurring deep within the Earth could be responsible for our planet’s changing gravitational field, according to new research that scoured orbital data for clues to the mystery. The shift ...

Underneath our feet, deep down below the Earth’s crust and its other layers lies the core, or where the planet’s magnetic fields are generated. However, experts now say it’s changing and there might ...
