A recent study has mathematically clarified how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. The researchers derived a new equation that ...

Researchers have mathematically elucidated how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. A novel equation was derived to describe the travel of ...

This is in part because if you were to plunge down 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles), you would be jump-scared by seismic waves that accelerate when they hit the threshold of the D” layer.

Again, the agreement is satisfactory. At each time step, this simulation required solving a system of equations with 500 million unknowns (also called the degrees of freedom of the system). Simulating ...

The equation can be written as follows: 1/v^2 * ∂^2y/∂t^2= ∂^2y/∂x^2. In this equation, v is the velocity of a wave, and the other parts describe the displacement of the wave in one direction.

For P-waves, Equation 1 can take form of Equation 6 or Equation 7, where Δt p is P-wave transit time and Δt s is S-wave transit time. Seismic velocity (V p or V s) in Equations 6-9 is a function ...
