Scientists have discovered the world's deepest earthquake, which occurred 467 miles (751 kilometers) beneath the surface of the Earth.
An earthquake that struck at a whopping 751 kilometers (467 miles) below the Earth’s surface is the deepest ever recorded, scientists have revealed.
An earthquake that struck at a whopping 751 kilometers (467 miles) below the Earth’s surface is the deepest ever recorded, scientists have revealed. The tremor shook a zone thought to be impossible for quakes to occur in.
This depth places the earthquake in the lower mantle where seismologists thought it would be impossible to cause an earthquake.
In Japan, 751 kilometers deep. But experts can't explain exactly how this was possible.
The quake occurred in the lower mantle, well deeper than previous quakes.
In the dusty circumstellar disk, evidence for the existence of a planet revolving around three stars at once has been discovered for the first time.
It all started when Jeremy Smallwood's team, from the University of Nevada in Las Vegas (UNLV), in the United States, analyzed the three dust rings observed around the three stars of a solar system called GW Orionis (GW Ori), located about 1,300 light-years from Earth.
Great Basin National Park sits at the eastern edge of the state. The park is home to a towering rock glacier and slow-growing groves of bristlecone pines, iconic trees with twisted limbs that have stood for centuries.
Host to over 41 million visitors a year, Las Vegas is bustling. But with an annual rainfall total under 4 inches, how does this desert oasis quench the masses and sustain itself, keeping water flowing and business thriving?
In collaboration with presenting partners, the American Geosciences Institute (AGI) invites educators, students, and all interested in the geosciences to participate in the "Water Today and for the Future" Webinar Series during Earth Science Week (October 10-16, 2021) and beyond.
Astronomers witnessed a mysterious object in the universe emit 1,652 bursts of energy in a very short time.
