Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean floor, sediment cores hold secrets that could reshape how scientists predict Earth's climate future. These deep-sea layers capture snapshots of ancient oceans ...

Despite oceans covering more than 70% of Earth’s surface, we have mapped less than 25% of the ocean floor at high resolution. This knowledge gap exists because traditional mapping techniques face ...

Scientists predict a new supercontinent may form in 200-300 million years. The supercontinent, named Amasia, may arise from the closing Pacific Ocean. Australia is expected to collide with Asia ...

Is The Pacific Ocean Floor Being Ripped Apart? Posted: May 24, 2025 | Last updated: May 24, 2025. Our understanding of our own planet is still changing and a relatively new theory about how plate ...

The Pacific Plate, which makes up most of the Pacific Ocean floor, is slowly moving west. As its western edge gets pushed down into the Earth’s mantle near places like Japan and New Zealand, ...

ABSTRACT: The so-called “typical” values for the Earth’s topography are often used in the literature, such as the mean continental altitude (MCA), the Moho depth for “normal” continental crust, or ...

Nation/World; WWII bomber found on Pacific Ocean floor — with a bomb still attached and vintage car on board. Published: ; Apr. 27, 2025, 9:00 a.m.

These technological constraints have left vast regions of our ocean floor—particularly in remote or deep areas—largely unexplored and poorly understood. This knowledge gap impacts our understanding of ...

The Pacific is the biggest and deepest ocean on Earth, covering about a third of the planet's surface. It stretches over 155 million square kilometres, with an average depth of 13,000 feet.

Scientists map over 200,000 underwater hills using SWOT satellite technology. Researchers unveil unprecedented details of Earth's ocean floor topography with advanced satellite technology.

Oceanographers explored an area around the Pacific Ocean’s Nazca Ridge and found a massive underwater mountain. Using a sonar system, the researchers digitally mapped the seafloor of the area ...
