Scientists have simulated the path of seismic waves rippling across the red planet. NASA’s InSight lander detected its first marsquake earlier this year, providing on-the-ground data for the first ...

Using a newly developed flexible, finite-fault inversion framework based on seismic P waves, a new study confirms that the magnitude 7.9 Gulf of Alaska earthquake of January 23, 2018 involved the ...

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 characterizes ...

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 ...

An earthquake generates a series of seismic waves that travel through the interior or near the surface of the Earth. There are four types of seismic waves. How will three identically engineered ...

For 20 minutes on Nov. 11, 2018, strange seismic waves reverberated around the Earth for nearly 11,000 miles — and we have no idea what they were. No one felt them; nothing was destroyed by them; if ...

A common geoscientific misconception is that land-based shear-wave (S-wave) seismic data accounts for only a small percentage of the total amount of compressional-wave (P-wave) data acquired in ...
