Axial Seamount doesn’t pose a threat to humans, but observing what happens before and after its potential eruption could help scientists learn about submerged volcanoes and strengthen predictions

NASA has announced that the world as we know it may be facing significant existential threats, lining up with physicist Stephen Hawking's prediction.

Mapping in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas off Alaska has uncovered a 1,640-foot-tall structure on the seafloor, but scientists say it's too early to determine the nature of the discovery.

Global warming during the Last Interglacial period caused so much Arctic ice to melt that Atlantic currents collapsed — and scientists say these are the conditions we could be heading toward.

From 140 million miles distant, Earth just got the following message: NASA knows exactly what comes next. This message helps with transmitting.

How did life emerge on Earth? The age-old question has intrigued experts for years and now a study has hinted that rocky guests who visit us frequently might have carried the seeds of life.  Meteorites likely brought the building blocks of life to the primordial Earth from space, as per new evidence. Scientists are intrigued by the finding as this means that alien life exists somewhere in space.

Climate change set up the Gulf of Mexico to birth a storm this strong, this fast.

A submerged bridge dating back at least 5,600 years is an indicator that human life in Mallorca, Spain, was present earlier than previously believed.

The powerful LARID radar in Hainan, China, can detect plasma bubbles in Earth’s upper atmosphere up to 9,600km away.

About 66 million years ago, a cataclysmic event marked the end of the dinosaur era. This episode is linked to the...

The hurricane center is already watching a disturbance, with more potentially on the way.

A team from UNIGE analyzed 56 million-year-old sediments to determine the rise in soil erosion due to global warming, which is associated with significant flooding. Around 56 million years ago, Earth underwent significant and swift climate warming, likely triggered by greenhouse gases emitted from

Speaking at a meeting of Pacific Island leaders in Tonga, Antonio Guterres warned the region was ‘uniquely exposed’.

It feels like there have been staggering science stories emerging every other day recently, all of which have blown our tiny little minds.First, there was the discovery of a terrifying black hole pointing right at us, then there was a huge hole found in the sun and a missing continent found after go...

Some of the Earth’s most “extreme features” have been discovered deep, deep underground, and scientists can’t work out what they are. The mysterious zones have the power to slow down seismic waves by up to 50 per cent, yet experts don’t know what they’re made of or what role they play. These strange black holes (figuratively speaking) are located w...

One thing that is likely to get some pushback is the study’s claim that modern-style plate tectonics on Earth did not commence until the Neoproterozoic.

Researchers finally have an interesting explanation for why the continents have been rising vertically along with moving horizontally.

A massive 120-foot asteroid is barreling toward Earth at mind-boggling speeds of around 31,228 mph — and it's slated to pass within 4.18 million miles of the planet

Around 4.5 billion years ago a giant object around the size of Mars crashed into the proto-planet Earth, called Theia. This essentially redid the planet and created the Moon, but new research suggests it also changed the way Earth would behave for the rest of its days.

A scientific drilling ship has burrowed further into Earth’s mantle than ever before, obtaining new clues about the processes that feed oceanic volcanoes and the possible origins of life
