Seismic tomography or seismotomography is a technique for imaging the subsurface of the Earth with seismic waves produced by earthquakes or explosions. P-, S-, and surface waves can be used for tomographic models of different resolutions based on seismic wavelength, wave source distance, and the seismograph array coverage. The data received at seismometers are used to solve an inverse problem, wherein the locations of reflection and refraction of the wave paths are determined. This solution can be used to create 3D images of velocity anomalies which may be interpreted as structural, thermal, or compositional variations. Geoscientists use these images to better understand core, mantle, and plate tectonic processes. (Wikipedia).
Earthquakes and Seismology in Earth’s Interior
We just learned about all the layers of the Earth, but how did we accumulate this information? How do we know the composition of these layers and the depths at which they occur? The answer is seismology! Let's learn about the different kinds of seismic waves, their properties, and how geol

The tool that engineers use to design buildings in earthquake zones | The response spectrum
Earthquakes are one of the most destructive forces of nature. They could induce substantial movement in the ground, which results in the development of excessive forces in structural components, resulting in their failure. The intent of the analysis is to somehow predict the **maximum resp

Science Bulletins: Mapping the Heat Beneath
As seismic waves from earthquakes pass through the planet, their patterns can reveal hidden dynamics—hotspots, deep-diving rock, melting mantle—in Earth's interior. An array of seismometers that's being installed across the United States is now allowing geophysicists to plot revelatory vie

Caltech Science Exchange: How Do Earthquake Early Warning Systems Work?
Earthquake early warning systems don't predict earthquakes. Instead, they detect ground motion as soon as an earthquake begins and quickly sends alerts that a tremor is on its way, giving people crucial seconds to prepare. Learn more about how these systems work in this video. Interested

This Diagram of Earth Is a Lie
When you learned about the Earth’s interior in school, you were probably shown a diagram that looked like a perfect layer cake. But we've known for a long time that that diagram is... inaccurate at best, and leaves out information that can help us understand what's happening here on the su
