In a groundbreaking studypublished in Seismological Research Letters, Australian National University (ANU) scientists have found that powerful winter storms in the North Atlantic Ocean send seismic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

On September 16, 2023, several seismic stations worldwide detected a bizarre signal. Earthquakes are not rare. In 2023 alone, 1,712 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or more were registered worldwide.

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 ...

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 ...
