In this lesson, students look more closely at the released energy that travels in the form of waves, called seismic waves. It is this released energy that puts human beings and human structures in ...

Scientists looked into decades of seismic wave data and found that it behaved differently in distinct parts of the cores.

It's only in the last few years that scientists have been able to map the red planet's interior structure. That's because ...

For example, improvements in simulations of two-dimensional seismic wave propagation have been achieved by employing body-conforming grids that effectively represent topographic interfaces ...

As seismic waves travel, they slow or speed up depending on the density, temperature and type of rock. For example, they slow down when traveling through an underground aquifer or magma.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — For the first time, a new computer model details the path of destruction wrought by the enormous 1964 Alaska earthquake, and could help researchers better predict future ...

Scientists observed seismic waves traveling through Mars' core for the first time and confirmed model predictions of the core's composition.

The InSight lander has measured seismic waves traveling through the core of Mars for the first time.

At the Seismological Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology, we developed a highly accurate numerical technique, called the Spectral-Element Method, for the simulation of 3-D seismic ...

The research team confirmed for the first time the existence of a solid inner core on Mars with a radius of approximately 600 kilometers by deeply analyzing the seismic data recorded by NASA's InSight ...
