This video provides an overview of earthquakes, explaining their causes, classification, and potential effects. It also highlights the importance of preparedness, suggesting steps that can be taken to ensure safety in earthquake-prone...

NASA’s InSight lander touched down in the Elysium Planitia region of Mars in November of 2018. During its time on the Red Planet, InSight has achieved all its primary science goals and continues to hunt for quakes on Mars....

John Vidale and his team at the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network are monitoring ground motion across Washington State and Oregon to prepare residents for one of the most powerful natural hazards on the planet - a magnitude 9...

This video is a lecture about seismic waves, specifically those produced by earthquakes. The video covers the basics of earthquakes, including where they originate and the different layers of the Earth. It also discusses the two main...

Just like earthquakes help scientists figure out what's going on inside our home planet, moonquakes have taught scientists a lot about the interior of the Moon.

Geophysicists from the University of Maryland analyzed seismic waves around the world and found large unusual structures near the Earth’s core.

Learn more about the relationship between earthquakes and different types of seismic waves.

Many scientists believe that the Moon formed when a Mars-sized planet, called Theia, struck Earth around 4.5 billion years ago.

This video provides an informative overview of earthquakes, explaining the causes, effects, and potential dangers associated with these natural disasters. It covers important concepts such as tectonic plates, seismic waves, magnitude...

It explains earthquakes and their causes. It discusses the use of a Richter scale to measure earthquake and the measures taken to protect against earthquakes.

Through live action footage and animated diagrams students will come to understand that refraction is the bending of light rays when they go from one medium to another medium of different density. The program explains why light refracts...

This video provides an overview of earthquakes, including their causes, measurement, and notable earthquakes in history. It also discusses the importance of earthquake preparedness and provides tips on how to create an emergency plan and...

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...

In this video you are going to learn how we used earthquakes to look deep into the earth. The study of S and P waves helped us understand that the Earth has a layered structure, with a solid inner core surrounded by an outer liquid core.

This program explores the fascinating features of vibrations and waves. Vivid examples of these phenomenon help students understand how sounds are formed, how light travels, and how ocean waves move. Special attention is also given to...

Upon viewing the The Nature of Waves video series, students will be able to do the following: Define waves as traveling disturbances that carry energy through matter or space. Explain that waves do not actually move matter. Instead,...

The interiors of Mars have chunks and blobs of ancient rocks that could have developed to form planets. The discovery was made when scientists were scanning through the data of NASA's InSight lander. How did they manage to remain the...

Mind-blowing discovery: NASA's Insight seismometer reveals Mars is stuffed with fragments from other worlds destroyed 4.5 billion years ago. 1,319 mars quakes expose how the Red Planet literally ate ancient planets during cosmic...

On July 20, a series of powerful undersea earthquakes rocked the Pacific coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula— the strongest measuring magnitude 7.4—triggerring tsunami alerts across the region and even prompting watches in places as...

Residents along the coast of a northern California town feared the quake would trigger a tsunami.
