In recent seismic events, particularly the earthquake that struck on the 6th, the phenomenon of long-period seismic waves was observed, raising concerns and curiosity among residents. This article ...

The earliest scientists first observed the waves that earthquakes produce before they could accurately describe the nature of earthquakes or their fundamental causes, as discussed in Lessons 1–5.

BUTTE, Mont. — Envision this scenario: You are going about your day. All is calm and quiet until suddenly, the ground beneath your feet begins to shake, and items within your home or workspace begin ...

Finite difference methods have become a cornerstone in the simulation of seismic wave propagation, providing a robust numerical framework to approximate the differential equations that govern seismic ...

Geophysics has shown that precise measurements and a little modeling can perform wonders, like showing us the detailed structure of the Earth’s interior despite the fact that it is inaccessibly buried ...

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 ...

The first studies of the 28 March 2025 magnitude 7.8 Myanmar earthquake suggest that the southern portion of its rupture occurred at supershear velocity, reaching speeds of 5 to 6 kilometers per ...

A new synthesis of seismic research shows that artificial intelligence, when combined with physical principles, is rapidly ...

Researchers have mathematically elucidated how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. A novel equation was derived to describe the travel of ...

Mars has had its first CT scan, thanks to analyses of seismic waves picked up by NASA’s InSight lander. Diagnosis: The Red Planet’s core is at least partially liquid, as some previous studies had ...
