Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, shifting tectonic plates—these are all signs that our planet is alive. But what is revealed ...

Seismological research is directly related to the incubation, occurrence, and evolution of earthquakes. Scientists seek to ...

Seismic waves, however, are not all the same. During an earthquake (or marsquake), four main types of waves are generated: p-waves, s-waves, Love waves, and Rayleigh waves. P-waves and s-waves ...

A little over 20 years later, in September 2018, a second big earthquake hit the same location, its waves of seismic energy emanating from the same region. Though the earthquakes occurred two ...

When there is too much friction between the fault lines, energy is released suddenly, triggering seismic waves which lead to an earthquake.

Earthquakes occur when two plates suddenly slip past each other, setting off seismic waves that cause the planet's surface to shake, according to the USGS. An earthquake is what happens when the ...

The seismic waves ... specializes in unusual earthquakes. “It doesn't mean that, in the end, the cause of them is that exotic,” he notes. Yet many features of the waves are remarkably weird ...

Analyzing the crisscrossing of seismic waves from large earthquakes, two Australian scientists say there is a distinctly different layer at the very center of the Earth. “We have now confirmed ...

Earthquakes, more so than many other types ... These discoveries, along with decades of painstaking analyses of seismic waves recorded across the world, have led to significant advances in ...
