Science at Bangor & in the News
Geologists at the University of Utah found a new layer within Earth's mantle. This layer is stiffer than the mantle on either side of it. This finding is important to helping scientists understand how tectonic plates move and why volcanoes along the mid-ocean ridge are supplied by different magmas than volcanoes on islands like Hawaii.
