Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird ...

Japan is bracing for a potential megaquake in the Nankai Trough, with government estimates projecting nearly 300,000 deaths ...

A new kind of earthquake has been detected in western Canada, one that shakes the ground slower and longer than typical ...

Only when all the crystals of the mineral point in the same direction in the model are the seismic waves accelerated - as can be observed in the D” layer at a depth of 2700 kilometres. In an unusual ...

Seismic waves accelerate in the D" layer, about 2,700 km deep, due to the alignment of post-perovskite crystals, which occurs as solid mantle rock flows horizontally under extreme pressure and ...

A tsunami struck a fjord in East Greenland in 2023, ringing seismometers for nine straight days. A new satellite study ...

A Revolutionary Way to Study Earth’s Core. Seismic waves, traditionally generated by earthquakes, can now be detected from the movement of ocean waters caused by intense storms.The recent ...

Researchers have unveiled the first direct evidence of these massive waves and linked them to bizarre seismic signals that ...

Structures that scatter seismic waves deep in Earth's mantle seem to be everywhere researchers look. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...

In September 2023, earthquake-detection equipment around the world picked up a signal that lasted nine days. A new study shows the signal was produced by a landslide into a Greenland fjord, which ...

As fascinating as bizarre signals from other planets can be—teaching us about earthquakes on Mars or auroras in the skies of Jupiter —sometimes even weirder signals come from weather extremes ...
