On March 28, 2025, a major earthquake with a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.7 struck Mandalay, central Myanmar (referred to as ...

When an earthquake creates sound waves that travel upward through the atmosphere, ... Tiny ocean migrants play a massive role in Southern Ocean carbon storage, study finds. Jun 27, 2025.

Their results show sound wave disturbance patterns in unique 3D detail and provide new insights into how earthquakes generate these waves. The team published the results in the journal Earth, Planets ...

Something unusual is happening deep within Earth’s mantle,around 1,700 miles below the surface, where seismic waves accelerate in a way that has left scientists scratching their heads for decades.

Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird ...

Earlier science reference models had long considered that the waves created by a quake have a single point source. The 3D visualizations presented in this study told a different story.

Scientists trace the source of Santorini quakes to deep magma flow, challenging fault-based theories with new volcanic ...

A pioneering new approach to wave science could help improve early warnings for earthquakes, optimise renewable energies and advance medical diagnostics, researchers have said.

When an earthquake creates sound waves that travel upward through the atmosphere, the upper parts of the waves move faster than the lower parts. This makes the wave front lean or tilt as it moves.
