The released energy travels in the form of waves called seismic waves. It is this released energy that puts human beings and human structures in danger. Therefore, it is critical to understand ...

Now, researchers have connected 49 seismic events to impact craters, proving that meteorite strikes leave distinct seismic ...

Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

New research shows that meteoroid impacts on Mars generate seismic signals that travel much deeper than previously thought, ...

Data collected by NASA's InSight lander suggest that ancient internal processes are responsible for the "Martian dichotomy" ...

Offshore oil and gas exploration uses deafening seismic surveys that generate the loudest human sounds in the ocean, short of those made by explosives. Seismic testing involves blasting the seafloor ...

How do seismic waves travel within the interior of Mars? This is what two recent studies published in Geophysical Research ...

A surface wave travels along the surface of the Earth. It is the slowest of the three types of seismic wave. Surface waves usually have larger amplitude than the other waves and cause the most damage.

These plates move slowly, but can cause earthquakes and volcanoes where they meet. The seismic waves produced by an earthquake are monitored and tracked. The Earth is almost a sphere. These are ...
