Small seismic waves generated by urban activity in Mexico City offer a glimpse at how subsiding soils may be speeding up the seismic waves that travel in the shallow layers beneath the city. As ...

The mechanism facilitating the smooth movement of the oceanic lithosphere over the underlying asthenosphere (upper mantle) remains poorly understood. Recently, researchers from Japan investigated the ...

Fifteen minutes before the massive January 2022 eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano, a seismic wave was recorded by two distant seismic stations. Now, researchers argue that similar ...

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 ...

A little over a year ago, seismic instruments across the planet picked up an unprecedented signal of unknown origin for which, until recently, no scientific explanation had been discovered. Dickson ...

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 ...

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 ...

A tsunami stemming from a landslide in a Greenland fjord, caused by melting ice, was behind a surprising seismic event last year that shook the earth for nine days, a researcher told AFP on Friday.

Mars’ heart is about the size of our moon, and almost twice as dense. Or so suggest the first observed rumblings from a Marsquake and meteorite impact to cross the Red Planet’s heart, researchers ...
