A University of Michigan study looking at a small region in Japan has shown that the properties of fault zone rocks really matter for the generation of earthquakes.
The region the researchers examined is covered by a network of borehole seismometer stations located about every 25 kilometers. Because the seismometers are placed about 100 meters deep in ...
Earthquakes occur along fault lines between continental plates, where one plate is diving beneath another. Pressure builds between each ...
A new analysis of earthquake rupture directivity provides essential insights for seismic hazard and risk assessments in urban ...
A spacecraft's sample return capsule was detected entering the Earth's atmosphere using acoustic sensors by a team of ...
along the optical fibers", as well as seismometers and infrasound sensors across two sites near Eureka, Nevada, ready to capture the capsule's descent. This involved laying 12 kilometers (7.46 ...
To time how fast a sprinter runs, you just need a stopwatch. To time how fast magma moves, you need to know a little bit ...
It is well-known that the Yellowstone region ... of earthquake waves through the ground — and is evident on both seismometers and infrasound microphones. This shows that as the Lamb wave ...
