For communities living in the shadow of a volcano, early warning systems are a lifeline—but mistrust in these warnings can ...

These hidden giants, standing at an astounding 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) high, are reshaping our understanding of the ...

TEHRAN - The Sagaing Fault, passing nearby Mandalay, Myanmar, has a long history of destructive earthquakes. In 1946, in an ...

New research reveals that early Earth concealed a deep ocean of magma, which may explain anomalies in the planet's mantle ...

“Because ice is a seismically simpler medium than rock, it’s got a well-known velocity structure ... with their seismic waveforms containing strong oscillations or coda after the arrival of the ...

Cratons are characterized by high seismic velocity. On this map, blue represents rock through which seismic waves travel faster; red represents rock through which seismic waves travel more slowly.

Thus, this study examines the relationship between sociocultural stress and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), a subclinical marker of CVD, in midlife Latinas. Methods: A cross-sectional ...

Using artificial seismic waves, the team determined that the top of the chamber is 3.8 kilometers, or about 12,500 feet, below Earth's surface, and it is sharply delineated from the rock strata ...

The authors apply a state-of-the-art full waveform inversion — a method that calculates structure from the entire recorded wave — to ... with a thick, low seismic velocity lower crust and ...

Seismic mapping of North America has revealed that an ancient slab of crust buried beneath the Midwest is causing the crust above it to "drip" and suck down rocks from across the continent.
