This indicates the presence of zones of rocks that are colder.
A mountaintop collapsed into the sea and triggered a mega-tsunami
Greenland landslide caused nine-day earthquake.
Mysterious doughnut-like structure found deep within Earth’s core
Deepens understanding of planet's magnetic field.
Most detailed underground images to date of the Long Valley Caldera
California supervolcano is cooling off but may still cause quakes.
Sounds of Earth’s crust
MIT scientists find the sounds beneath our feet are fingerprints of rock stability.
‘Planet within a planet’ revealed by research into Earth’s deep core
Seismologists probe Earth’s inner core.
New research solves the mystery of “earthquakes” or “tremors” cause
The process of extracting oil causes tremors.
The Campi Flegrei volcano’s crust is weakening
The Campi Flegrei volcano in southern Italy is weakening and potentially erupting.
Artificial Intelligence can be used to create a tsunami early warning system
Early warnings for tsunamis are difficult due to underwater earthquakes.

Shape of sand grains influences the liquefaction of sand
There is a strong correlation between the two.
Seismic wave data revealed changes in the Earth’s outer core
Scientists have never directly observed convective flows or how they may be changing.
Understanding changes in Earth’s outer core with the help of seismic waves
The composition of the bulk, the outer core of the Earth, is not pure iron but has a density deficit of about 5–10%, indicating...
3.8-Billion-year-old crystal to point earliest geochemical evidence of plate tectonics
Crystal to point an early start for the active global process that shapes Earth's surface and climate
Simulating common processes of formation of new subduction zones
How do these subduction zones originate, and how do they evolve over time?
Two sizable quakes detected on Mars
The quakes add weight to the idea that the location is a center of seismic activity.
How earthquake triggers volcanic eruptions?
Scientists reviewed current knowledge, and introduce a novel framework to help characterize earthquake-triggering processes.
How Earth’s outer shell first broke into tectonic plates?
The answer lies in the consideration of major heat-loss mechanisms
How water in the deep Earth triggers earthquakes and tsunamis?
Oceanic lithosphere carries volatiles, notably water, into the mantle through subduction at convergent plate boundaries. This subducted water exercises control on the production of...
New research unveiled structures deep inside the Earth
Most of what we know about the interior of the Earth comes from the study of seismic waves from earthquakes. These waves contain vital...
