Seismic Waves Travel Through Earth's Core From North Atlantic Storms

Edited by: Anna 🎨 Krasko

Scientists have detected seismic waves originating from severe winter storms in the North Atlantic. These waves travel through the Earth's core. Researchers from the Australian National University have identified these unusual energy signals.

The team used two large antenna arrays, each 50 by 50 kilometers, located in remote parts of Australia. These arrays captured seismic waves generated by cyclones in the North Atlantic. The waves pass through the planet's center and are recorded in Australia during its summer.

The study indicates that oceanic waves' energy propagates through the Earth. The analysis helps identify active zones in the North Atlantic. Key signal sources are located near Greenland and Newfoundland coasts. This technology allows for planet analysis even without tectonic or volcanic activity.
