When waves hit the continental shelf, where the solid ground is much closer to the surface, the pressure deforms the ocean floor, Eule said. This causes seismic pulses, also known as microseisms. Also ...

Eötvös is the unit of measure for the gravity-based data used to create these maps. Credit: NASA Earth Observatory We’ve mapped the Moon more thoroughly than our own ocean floor, but a leap forward ...

Watch a particularly agile specimen in action. Researchers in Australia put cameras on sea lions' backs to help them map the elusive ocean floor. Scientists are preparing to drill into the rock of ...
