Earth's Core Leaks Gold: Study Reveals Deep-Earth Processes
A German study published in Nature reveals that over 99% of Earth's gold is locked in its core, with some slowly escaping to the surface via volcanic magma, a discovery made by detecting high concentrations of ruthenium-100 in Hawaiian volcanic rocks.

Ancient Supercontinents Found Deep Within Earth's Mantle
New research using seismic wave attenuation analysis reveals two enormous supercontinents buried deep within Earth's mantle, challenging previous assumptions about the mantle's consistency and composition; these structures may be ancient anchors influencing plate tectonics and potentially the source...

New Mechanism Explains Formation of Gold Deposits in Subduction Zones
A research team discovered that a specific sulfur ion (trisulfur) under high pressure and temperature (50-80km depth) facilitates gold transfer from Earth's mantle into magma rising to the surface via subduction zones, mainly around the Pacific Ocean, leading to gold deposit formation.

North American Continent Undergoes 'Cratonic Dripping'
Research published in Nature Geoscience reveals that North America's ancient core is slowly sinking into the Earth's mantle due to a process called "cratonic dripping", primarily affecting the Midwest, a phenomenon possibly linked to convective heat flows or a subducting oceanic plate.

Massive Subterranean Structures Discovered Beneath Pacific Ocean Defy Geological Understanding
Scientists using advanced seismic imaging discovered massive structures 1000 km below the Pacific Ocean, challenging our understanding of Earth's formation and potentially representing ancient landmasses or accumulated iron-rich rocks.
