Understanding the Earthquake's Impact On a fateful day, Myanmar experienced an earthquake registering 7.7 on the Richter scale, claiming the lives of at least 144 individuals and injuring more than ...

When seismic waves travel through or bounce off different materials inside the Earth, they carry information that can help researchers infer the composition and behavior of those materials.

In 2024, scientists made headlines when they found evidence of copious amounts of water inside a layer of the Martian crust. This layer lies 11.5 to 20 kilometers below the surface and is about 1-2 km ...

Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.

Instead, scientists map the interior by watching how seismic waves from earthquakes are bent, reflected, sped up, or delayed by the various layers.

which uses "electrical energy . . . as a wave source" that "monitor[s] seismic wave energy" on dry, wet, and frozen diabase samples. Experimentation revealed that the seismic velocities of the dry ...

understanding the behavior of these seismic events is crucial for mitigating risks and enhancing preparedness. In recent years, it has become evident that the energy transported by seismic waves ...

In recent years, residents of Bangkok have often experienced the unsettling phenomenon of high-rise buildings swaying during earthquakes occurring in neighboring countries. This article delves into ...

Seismic waves – WJEC Earthquakes produce shockwaves called seismic waves. These waves can be detected using seismographs. Some seismic waves are surface waves, while others can travel through ...
