A new study shows that the inner core changed shape in just a few decades, challenging previous assumptions and revealing ...

Seismic waves suggest the planet's solid inner core is being pulled out of shape – and it has undergone these changes over ...

Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also ...

At the center of our planet is a very hot rotating ball of mostly iron and nickel (sorry Journey to the Center of the Earth ...

Tsunamis can be triggered as secondary disasters following megathrust earthquakes, with their intensity largely dependent on the magnitude of shallow seismic ruptures. Historically, considerable ...

Earthquakes excite the Earth’s subsurface over a small area, and waves of energy then propagate ... So at DIAS we are applying machine learning to the seismic data, to extract as much ...

The waveforms, or shapes, of some of the seismic signals changed between 2004 and 2008. Those shifts occurred because the waves briefly penetrated Earth’s inner core — which was changing shape ...

“We can use the ambient seismic vibrations and analyze the speed of seismic waves to sense the aquifers. These are vibrations that are going on in the earth all the time from all sorts of different ...

Scientists were thrown for a loop when studying the so-called damping of seismic waves, which is the “amount of energy that waves lose when they travel through the Earth,” explained Duess ...

Pic: Reuters Why is it happening? Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates move suddenly along a fault line, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves. The shaking that results from these waves ...
