The New Jersey earthquake of 2024 might have felt bigger than ones of the same magnitude on a Richter scale or intensity in California. That's because earthquakes in the eastern US go farther and hit harder than their western...

The deepest hole we've ever been able to dig is just 0.2 percent of the way to the center of the Earth. What would we encounter if we could drill all the way?



Correction: We mislabeled these! These are ammonite fossils, not...

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...

Scientists think they’ve discovered some peaks taller than Mt Everest deep beneath the earth’s crust, and this range might be the key to one of the biggest mysteries in geology!

There are some geological areas on the planet that scientists still don't understand. For most things it's pretty clear—combine a volcanic eruption a dash of erosion, and boom, you’ve got a striking cliff! But not all the features on...

We can now map the interiors of stars by "listening" to their harmonies as they vibrate with seismic waves.

Explaining strange Earth geology is often straightforward — combine a volcanic eruption a dash of erosion, and boom, you’ve got a striking cliff! But not all the features on this planet are so easy to figure out. From the ground randomly...

We’ve detected seismic activity all around the solar system, from earthquakes to moonquakes, marsquakes to venusquakes. But the most dramatic quakes we know of actually happen on stars!

In this video Paul Andersen describes some of the properties of waves. He starts be identifying particles and waves as the only phenomenon that can transfer energy from place to place. He identifies the defining characteristics of...

Thanks to some amazing scientific insights, we know a lot about the interior of our planet - even though we’ve never even made it through the crust.

Scientists think they’ve discovered some peaks taller than Mt Everest deep beneath the earth’s crust, and this range might be the key to one of the biggest mysteries in geology!

In this video Paul Andersen compares and contrasts mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Both types of waves transfer energy through oscillations but mechanical waves requires a medium. Several examples of each type of wave are included.

Pupil outcome: I can describe and explain how we measure earthquakes. Key learning points: - The focus of an earthquake is deep underground - seismic waves radiate out from the focus. - The epicentre is on the surface, directly above the...
