The signals from this kind of faint Earth tremor – known as an “S-wave microseism” – may provide geophysicists with a new tool to study not only oceanic storms but also the Earth’s interior. First ...

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).

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, shifting tectonic plates—these are all signs that our planet is alive. But what is revealed deep inside Earth surprises laymen and scientists alike: Almost 3000 ...

For the study, the researchers analyzed seismic wave data from earthquakes that traverse the interior of the Earth, get “spit out” on the opposite side of the planet, called the antipode, then return ...
