The detection of energy signals from strong winter storms in the North Atlantic Ocean that travel through Earth's core could ...

Scientists discovered a massive ocean hidden hundreds of kilometres beneath the Earth's surface a few years ago. Researchers ...

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 ...

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%.

The stations are equipped with sensors that detect the full spectrum of seismic waves, the vibrations that travel through the Earth and toward the surface after an earthquake, similar to the way ...
