As iron is the primary component of the Earth's core, its properties (e.g., its melting temperature at the pressures found in the proximity of the Earth's inner core boundary) set an upper limit ...

Earth’s rocky layers are mysteriously low in nitrogen compared with carbon and argon. A scientific team explored our planet’s ...

The Earth's ... Estimates of its temperature vary, but it is probably somewhere between 9,000 and 13,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,000 and 7,000 degrees Celsius). Above the inner core is the outer ...

The temperature of the Earth depends on many factors including the concentration of greenhouse gases such as water vapour, methane and carbon dioxide. The Earth also radiates lower frequency ...

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years.
