Seismic waves generated by a 1.9 magnitude earthquake located north of Fréjus (Var), recorded along the 41 km-long fibre optic cable deployed on the seafloor off Toulon. In the recording on the ...

Below that, from roughly 30 meters to 80 meters (these figures are pretty inexact), is another layer of material where seismic signals move slowly. The researchers conclude this is likely to be a ...

They have demonstrated why earthquake waves change abruptly at a depth of 2,700 kilometres at the so-called D‘’ layer. The reason for this is a type of solid rock that nevertheless flows. This mineral ...

These mysterious waves, known as PKP precursors, arrive just before a type of seismic wave known as PKP waves, which travel through the Earth during an earthquake.

New research systematically documents Russian attacks in Ukraine by using one of the most universal elements of the battlefield: the explosions that shook the earth. Source: Dando et al, Nature ...

Low frequency seismic waves were a key factor in an earthquake in in 1985, when close to 900 buildings in Mexico City, the nation’s capital, ... Nik Wheeler/Corbis, via Getty Images.

Both ultrasound for medical imaging and seismology for imaging the Earth's interior measure the propagation of waves through matter. For example, when seismic waves encounter material differences in ...

In that data, the researchers found a certain kind of surface-traveling seismic wave—called a Rayleigh wave—that emanated from the direction of the cataclysmic eruption about 15 minutes before ...

The Atmospheric Waves Experiment (or AWE) aboard the International Space Station captured images of Hurricane Helene’s gravity waves, showcasing both the instrument’s capabilities and the ...
