In some parts of Earth's interior, seismic waves travel at different speeds depending on the direction in which they are ...

Seismic wave propagation in porous media is a multifaceted phenomenon where elastic waves traverse rock matrices hosting fluids within their interconnected pores and fractures. This interplay between ...

You are going about your day. All is calm and quiet until suddenly, the ground beneath your feet begins to shake, and items ...

According to physics, seismic waves from earthquakes should travel in a four-leaf clover pattern, but in the real world they behave more like ripples in a pond. New research has found the pattern ...

Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird acceleration of seismic waves. Experiments recreating the phenomenon in a ...

When quakes rumbled on Mars and a meteorite smacked into the red planet during the past four years, NASA's InSight lander collected soundwaves that helped reveal secrets of the Martian interior.

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 ...

Earth’s heart may have a secret chamber. The planet’s inner core isn’t just a solid ball of nickel and iron, researchers say, but contains two layers of its own: a distinct central region nestled ...

Scientists are raising the alarm about a potential seismic catastrophe on the West Coast of North America. Recent studies ...
