A discovery about Earth's core shows a "doughnut" shaped layer, in which earthquake waves travel slower than the rest of the core. A study published in Science Advances points to silicon and ...

"That makes sense," Saldanha noted, "since heat and water mostly affect the upper layers of the Earth's crust." Deeper earthquakes, originating from within the Earth’s mantle, showed little ...

We often think of the Earth as solid, and quiet. But scientists are starting to realize it might be anything but silent. Deep ...

Data captured from seismic waves caused by earthquakes has shed new light on the deepest parts of Earth’s inner core, according to seismologists from The Australian National University (ANU).

The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, ... including 121 repeating earthquakes recorded from 42 locations near Antarctica’s South Sandwich Islands between 1991 and 2024.

Normally, younger rocks are deposited above older ones, forming predictable geologic layers. In the North Sea, this process ...

New simulations reveal that an ancient ocean of magma located above the Earth's core continues to shape the planet's ...

A new study on the ancient Greek city of Helike shows how repeated earthquakes transformed the landscape and forced communities to adapt.

Scientists understand the basics of earthquakes. The Earth’s crust consists of large tectonic ... The potential connection between solar heat and earthquakes adds yet another layer of complexity.
