Several structures, a.k.a. tectonic plates, seemed to be sitting there, untouched since the evolution of Earth billions of ...
Seismic waves passing through the Earth have revealed that the inner core of our planet is now rotating out-of-sync with the layers above it. Update: As reported below, research from January 2023 ...
It turns out that the interior of Mars exhibits seismic waves just like the Earth, according to a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Using seismic data ...
Scientists may have figured out the cause of some bizarre seismic waves echoing around the Earth's insides which have puzzled them for decades. These mysterious waves, known as PKP precursors, arrive ...
For reasons unknown, Earth's solid-iron inner core is growing faster on one side than the other, and it has been ever since it started to freeze out from molten iron more than half a billion years ago ...
Two recent studies used seismic data from NASA's retired InSight mission to shed light on what lies beneath Mars’ surface and ...
The global "hum" of the Earth is now helping scientists probe the planet's deep interior, a group of researchers say. Since this hum — called seismic noise, which is generated by sources such as storm ...
Current understanding is that the chemical composition of the Earth's mantle is relatively homogeneous. But experiments now show that this view is too simplistic. Their results solve a key problem ...
Seismic waves generated by earthquakes travel through Earth's solid iron inner core faster in the direction of the rotation axis than along the equator. Scientists created a core growth model to ...
