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

A tool enables researchers to effectively hijack fiber optic cables for use as thousands of seismometers, providing a reading ...

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 ...

When the Earth’s crust shifts abruptly, an earthquake occurs, with energy radiated out as seismic waves and shaking that’s sometimes experienced by people, buildings and infrastructure.

Earthquakes create ripple effects in Earth's upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite communications and navigation ...

waves used in X-ray machines and ultrasounds or the seismic waves involved in earthquakes. The scientists say that methodologies for wave analysis can be similar and they have an opportunity to ...
