This discovery was made possible through a groundbreaking technique that maps seismic waves traveling through the Earth's ...

Monitoring the Earth’s surface and interior also helps societies understand and respond to natural hazards. Terra has more than a decade of observations showing how earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, ...

In a nutshell Scientists have solved the mystery of how earthquakes can occur 420 miles deep inside Earth, where extreme ...

Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

Many geologists attribute the great variation in the temperature gradient to complex irregularities in the structure of the earth's crust. Some even maintain that the interior of the earth is cold ...

Ariel’s medial grooves could provide important clues about the moon’s internal structure, particularly regarding the presence ...

Seismologists study Earth's deep interior by investigating how much these tones are "out of tune," because whole Earth oscillations will sound out of tune or less loud when they encounter anomalies.

Many people imagine Earth’s interior mantle as separate layers stacked on top of each other, like a layered cake, with each layer representing a plate. In reality, those internal zones are complex and ...
