The USGS gives a lower magnitude of 3.3. The reported magnitude is not directly comparable to an earthquake of similar size because the explosion occurred at the surface where seismic waves are ...

Seismic waves generated in Earth's interior provide images that help us to better understand the pattern of mantle convection that drives plate motions. You have full access to this article via ...

But mysterious earthquake waves suggest that these features might be widespread. ULVZs, which are located in the lower mantle near the core-mantle boundary, can slow seismic waves by up to 50%.

This is possible because seismic waves produced by earthquakes subtly change velocity or direction as they pass through different materials. A new paper shows that something similar can actually ...

Seismic waves were generated when Russia fired artillery, airstrikes and missiles across northern Ukraine. For the first time, researchers in Norway and Ukraine studied data from dozens of ...

Richard Aster receives funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation. As oceans waves rise and fall, they apply forces to the sea floor below and generate seismic waves. These seismic waves ...
