Researchers examining seismic data recorded on Mars say the have found evidence supporting the presence of liquid water deep ...
The mantle of the Earth, up to 1,800 miles (2,900 kms) thick and 84% of the Earth's volume, was assumed to be a simple ...
Basically, a seismic wave is generated underneath the earth's surface, and then picked up by sensors called "geophones" as the waves bounce off subsurface formations -- that is, layers of rock ...
There are a number of ways to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. Most scales are based on the amplitude of seismic waves recorded on seismometers. These scales account for the distance between ...
Earth’s solid inner core appears to have changed shape in the past 20 years or so, according to seismic wave measurements – but the behaviour of these waves could also be explained by other ...
Researchers have found new evidence for a massive subsurface ocean on Mars, again raising the possibility of microbial life.
Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.
