As oceans waves rise and fall, they apply forces to the sea floor below and generate seismic waves. These seismic waves are so powerful and widespread that they show up as a steady thrum on ...

When a powerful earthquake shook the far eastern edge of Russia in late July, it set off more than a huge movement of the ...

A new study shares how scientists have gained an unprecedented look at how tsunami waves spread across the ocean.

Yes, Hurricane Melissa affected seismic activity, but it did not cause a crack in the seafloor that will lead to a major ...

A powerful 2025 Kuril-Kamchatka earthquake generated a Pacific-wide tsunami, captured by NASA's SWOT satellite. These ...

Seismic waves are part of that environment, so they're naturally adapted to them. If the artificial wave forms are identical to seismic waves in amplitude and frequency (since both vary depending on ...

In May 1997, a large earthquake shook the Kermadec Islands region in the South Pacific Ocean. A little over 20 years later, in September 2018, a second big earthquake hit the same location, its waves ...

Robots called "Mermaids" now floating in the oceans are helping to create images of the Earth's interior. Each robot is known as a Mobile Earthquake Recorder in Marine Areas by Independent Divers, or ...

Supercomputer simulations of planetary-scale interactions show how ocean storms and the structure of Earth's upper layers together generate much of the world's seismic waves. Decoding the faint but ...

The Pacific tsunami, triggered by an 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia on July 30th, was captured and documented by ...
