Samuel’s team went beyond considerations of density, composition, and seismic velocity and looked at how the interior structure of Mars attenuated seismic waves. “From this, we were able to infer the ...

It turns out that the interior of Mars exhibits seismic waves just like the Earth, according to a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Using seismic data ...

A diagram depicting how different seismic waves travel across Mars. (Image credit: Ikuo Katayama) With that in mind, Katayama and Akamatsu honed in on two transitional regions in the seismic data ...

Understanding the origin of this seismic wave velocity drop and attenuation at the oceanic LAB is crucial for deciphering the asthenosphere's low viscosity and how it facilitates the movement of ...

As tensions between Iran and Israel escalate, two recent earthquakes near Iranian nuclear facilities have sparked intense ...

Their conclusion is that Roman amphitheaters may act as seismic invisibility cloaks thanks to their shape. This, they say, is the reason for their remarkable longevity. First some background.

They came to this conclusion because the seismic waves changed speed when they went through the Earth's core. The data suggests the innermost inner core is a dense iron ball around 650km (404 ...

Strange waves rippled around Earth. Now we may know why. An “exceptional phenomenon” near the tiny islands of Mayotte may help explain a low-frequency rumble that swept around the world last year.

Scientists have concluded that an unprecedented global seismic signal, first noticed in September 2023, was caused by a Greenland fjord tsunami triggered by climate change.

Earthquakes may be triggered by sound waves that reduce the friction between rocks at a geological fault. That is the conclusion of an international team of researchers that has done laboratory-based ...

A bridge destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami that struck Palu, in Indonesia, on Sept. 28. The seismic rupture unzipped 80 miles of crust in 30 seconds.
