This type of flow form of mantle convection, moves heat through Earth’s interior and reshapes how we think about the planet’s ...

ETH Zurich scientists confirmed that solid rock flows deep inside Earth, solving a decades-old mystery about seismic waves.

Deep beneath our feet, around 2,700 kilometers below Earth’s surface, lies a region that has puzzled scientists for over five ...

Almost 3,000 kilometers underground, a seismic mystery has been solved as earthquake waves anomalous behavior is finally ...

Though the earthquakes occurred two decades apart, because they occurred in the same region, they’d be expected to send seismic waves through the Earth’s layers at the same speed, said Ying ...

Shaking from large earthquakes provides hints about something different at the center of the planet. By Kenneth Chang The inner core of the Earth appears to hold an innermost secret. Geology ...

Miles Inside The Earth's Surface The insides of Earth remain as much of a mystery to experts as the outsides of the planet.

Anisotropy is used to describe how seismic waves speed up or slow down through the material of the Earth’s inner core depending on the direction in which they travel. It could be caused by ...

the researchers looked at changes in the propagation speed of seismic waves. The data they used are the “background” seismic vibrations generated by the oceans, winds, and human activity—not ...
