A typical desk globe is designed to be a geometric sphere and to rotate smoothly when you spin it. Our actual planet is far less perfect — in both shape and in rotation. Earth is not a perfect sphere.

A new model of inner Earth pulls past information and hypotheses into a coherent story to clarify mantle motion. Scientists paint a story for a chemically complex inner earth, a model that sharply ...

While the Milankovitch Cycles operate on timescales far longer than human lifespans, their effects are always at play.

The study of polar motion and Earth's rotation dynamics encompasses the investigation of subtle shifts in the orientation of the planet's rotation axis relative to its crust. These motions are ...

PASADENA, Calif. — Humans have yet to see Earth’s center, as did the characters in Jules Verne’s science fiction classic, “Journey to the Center of the Earth.” But a new NASA study proposes a novel ...

An array of GPS instruments near the San Andreas Fault system in Southern California detects constant motion of Earth’s crust—sometimes large, sudden motion during an earthquake and often subtle, ...
