The study of Cascadia Subduction Zone is important because these can witness massive quakes. The Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) is a major geological faultline that stretches from Northern California in the US to British Columbia, Canada’s western most province. This 1,000-km-long mega fault marks the boundary between the Juan de Fuca and North American tectonic …
ALBANY, Calif. — A pioneering seismic study has unveiled a remarkable geological phenomenon beneath the western Mediterranean Sea, challenging previous understandings of tectonic movements. Researchers analyzing seismic data from a 2010 earthquake beneath Spain stumbled upon evidence of a subducted oceanic slab that has completely overturned — a discovery that could redefine our knowledge of Earth’s …
The E Prime layer has mystified geologists for decades. (Representational Pic) Earth is composed of four distinct layers, based on their density. The outermost layer is called crust, then comes the mantle, followed by the outer core and finally, the inner core, which is mostly liquid. Except for the crust, no one has ever explored …
