Seismic waves from one of the most powerful earthquakes on record along the east coast of Russia rippled all the way down to Florida. A tsunami thousands of miles away was triggered by the massive ...

Seismic activity on the Red Planet – called Marsquakes instead of earthquakes – has allowed scientists to study Mars' “lumpy” ...

Jess Thomson is a Newsweek Science Reporter based in London UK. Her focus is reporting on science, technology and healthcare. She has covered weird animal behavior, space news and the impacts of ...

NASA’s InSight lander listened to Marsquakes for four years. The tremors revealed that Mars may have a solid inner core.

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 acceleration of seismic waves. Experiments recreating the phenomenon in a ...

Accoridng to a new study, the Android Earthquake Alerts (AEA) system’s efficacy rivaled traditional seismic networks. © Océanos y dados, CC0, via Wikimedia ...

Seismic wave propagation in porous media is a multifaceted phenomenon where elastic waves traverse rock matrices hosting fluids within their interconnected pores and fractures. This interplay between ...

The installation of powerful seismic sensors in Yellowstone National Park over the past four years to track the area’s sleeping volcano has incidentally provided insight into rhythmic wave events on ...

Scientists have known that seismic waves slow down when passing through ultra-low velocity zones, or ULVZs, but only knew they existed around hotspots that create volcanic island chains. Now, a new ...
