The seismic estimate comes in at 0.044° C per decade. Here's how the seismic temperature record (blue) lines up with two datasets based on measurements from things like floats and satellites.

A recent study has mathematically clarified how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. The researchers derived a new equation that ...

These factors can locally intensify the seismic waves, therefore leading to additional damage. “In the 1906 California earthquake, some people living 100 miles away slept through the quake ...

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 ...

S waves are more dangerous than P waves because they have greater amplitude and produce vertical and horizontal motion of the ground surface. The slowest waves, surface waves, arrive last. They travel ...

On March 28, 2025, a major earthquake with a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.7 struck Mandalay, central Myanmar (referred to as ...

A new animation shows just how this might play out beneath the surface of Mars. Scroll down for video Scientists have simulated the path of seismic waves rippling across the red planet.

Instruments picked up the seismic waves more than 10,000 miles away—but bizarrely, nobody felt them. An aerial view of Mayotte's South Island. Photograph by Hemis / Alamy Stock Photo.
