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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The difference in water content between the lithosphere and the upper layer of Earth’s mantle can explain the observed seismic changes The oceanic lithosphere, which constitutes the top layer ...

Seismic waves accelerate in the D" layer, about 2,700 km deep, due to the alignment of post-perovskite crystals, which occurs as solid mantle rock flows horizontally under extreme pressure and ...
