Finite difference methods have become a cornerstone in the simulation of seismic wave propagation, providing a robust numerical framework to approximate the differential equations that govern seismic ...

The mechanism facilitating the smooth movement of the oceanic lithosphere over the underlying asthenosphere (upper mantle) remains poorly understood. Recently, researchers from Japan investigated the ...

The difference in water content between the lithosphere and the upper layer of Earth’s mantle can explain the observed seismic changes The oceanic lithosphere, which constitutes the top layer ...

A common geoscientific misconception is that land-based shear-wave (S-wave) seismic data accounts for only a small percentage of the total amount of compressional-wave (P-wave) data acquired in ...

Researchers have mathematically elucidated how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. A novel equation was derived to describe the travel of ...
