New evidence suggests current estimates about tsunami size and how quickly waves make it to shore may be too high and too ...

Seafloor sensors caught a rare slow quake in action. It hints at how Earth's stress is quietly released. For the first time, ...

A phase change in post-perovskite materials at the so-called D” discontinuity is also evidence for long-predicted slow, convective flows in the mantle itself ...

A tsunami struck a fjord in East Greenland in 2023, ringing seismometers for nine straight days. A new satellite study provides the first observational evidence of the waves.

A new kind of earthquake has been detected in western Canada, one that shakes the ground slower and longer than typical ...

When the island of Santorini was rattled by thousands of small earthquakes earlier this year, many people were left mystified ...

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, shifting tectonic plates—these are all signs that our planet is alive. But what is revealed deep inside Earth surprises laymen and scientists alike: Almost 3000 ...

Why seismic waves spontaneously race inside the earth Peer-Reviewed Publication ETH Zurich Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, shifting tectonic plates - these are all signs that our planet is alive.

About ten minutes following the earthquake, wave-like ripples that are similar to those patterns created in concentric circles when a stone is thrown into water started to emanate in the ...

Instead, seismic waves generated by the quakes may alter stresses on the fault as they pass by. This effect may be analogous to how dawn disrupts the synchronized flashing of fireflies, Farge says.

Their results show sound wave disturbance patterns in unique 3D detail and provide new insights into how earthquakes generate these waves. The team published the results in the journal Earth, Planets ...
