NASA spotted a circle of clouds over the Pacific Ocean, and the image is still breathtaking over 10 years later.

Future missions to Venus could also supply additional data on the density and temperature of the planet's crust, which could ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the strongest ocean current on Earth, is rapidly weakening due to the accelerating melt of Antarctica’s ice sheet. According to a new study published in ...

Venus — a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes — may be even more geologically active near its surface than previously thought. New calculations by researchers at Washington ...

Melting Antarctic ice is slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, according to a new study. The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050, researchers ...

The Mozambique Channel, between Mozambique and Madagascar, is home to some of the most turbulent waters in the ocean.

are where tectonic plates pull apart due to convection currents in the mantle. Most constructive plate boundaries are found on ocean floors. Some of these undersea volcanoes become so large that ...

Antarctica’s strongest ocean current, the ACC, is weakening due to ice melt, threatening global climate, sea levels, and marine ecosystems in an accelerating crisis.

This broad, 8,000-mile-long bulge in the crust of the earth differs in many ways from the rest of the ocean bottom. It may be the result of huge convection currents in the interior By Henry W. Menard ...
