In some parts of Earth's interior, seismic waves travel at different speeds depending on the direction in which they are ...

A research team from Japan investigated whether a noninvasive measurement of tissue strain has a potential usefulness for management of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The results showed that ...

A new seismic model of the three-dimensional variation in shear velocity throughout the Earth's mantle is presented. The model is derived entirely from shear bodywave travel times. Multibounce shear ...

The ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) are located around the core-mantle boundary, and most of them are near the boundary of Large Low Velocity Provinces (LLVPs), which dominate the earth’s lowermost ...

Scientists have discovered colossal mountain-like structures, known as Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs), buried deep within the Earth's mantle. These hidden giants, dwarfing Mount Everest, ...

The genesis of nummulite banks remains a poorly understood topic and the aim of this work is to shed light on it by observing the hydrodynamic behavior of selected larger foraminifera collected from ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly, or SAA, has been known since at least the 1960s, but there were no detailed, continuous studies ...

The story offers a cohesive explanation for how Earth gained both its moon and its moving tectonic plates, and it could aid in the search for other Earthlike worlds. But others caution that it’s much ...
