Ocean wave intensification since the late 1980s: Each circle is a seismic station, with size proportional to the vertical acceleration of the Earth at that station smoothed over three years.

Two Australian scientists argue in a new paper that within the Earth’s core, based on measurements of waves reverberating along the Earth’s diameter, is an innermost inner core, about 800 ...

A phase change in post-perovskite materials at the so-called D” discontinuity is also evidence for long-predicted slow, convective flows in the mantle itself ...

A Revolutionary Way to Study Earth’s Core. Seismic waves, traditionally generated by earthquakes, can now be detected from the movement of ocean waters caused by intense storms.The recent ...

ON April 2 a strong tunami, beginning near Unimak in the Aleutians, ranged the Pacific Coast of the Americas and the Pacific Islands to distances of 7,000 miles. At Scotch Cape Lighthouse, near ...

Wave energy increased, on average, more than twice the global rate since the 1980s, with seismic stations in the eastern United States showing increases between 0.6 and 0.8 percent per year.

When waves ricochet off the coast, they send energy back toward the sea. When that energy hits incoming waves, it pushes energy downward, creating a seismic signal that can be detected.

The sea is getting angry, my friends. Waves and surf along the California coast are getting bigger and taller because of global warming, a new study released this week suggests.. In fact, winter ...

These mysterious waves, known as PKP precursors, arrive just before a type of seismic wave known as PKP waves, which travel through the Earth during an earthquake.

The most powerful waves were discovered in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica, ... "And that force creates seismic waves that propagate all over the world." Subscribe to The Week.
