Geophysicists find areas that resemble the results of tectonic plate collisions — far from any area of such activity.

Two enormous continent-sized "islands" found buried deep inside the Earth's mantle are challenging our ideas about our planet ...

That's why geophysicists use indirect methods to see what's going on deep beneath our feet. For example, they use seismograms, or earthquake recordings, to determine the speed at which earthquake ...

A team of geophysicists created a detailed model of Earth's lower mantle using earthquake waves. This indicates the presence of zones of rocks that are colder, or have a different composition ...

Applied geophysics is the study of how the Earth works and what it's made of. Scientists called geophysicists use this knowledge to explore what's under the ground, check for dangers like earthquakes, ...

Geophysicists at ETH Zurich are using models of the lower mantle to identify areas where earthquake waves behave differently than previously assumed. This indicates the presence of zones of rocks ...

That's why geophysicists use indirect methods to see what's going on deep beneath our feet. For example, they use seismograms, or earthquake recordings, to determine the speed at which earthquake ...

A team of geophysicists at ETH Zurich in Switzerland has made a baffling discovery while analyzing earthquake waves to investigate the internal structures of the Earth. Specifically, they found ...
