Tsunamis, also known as seismic sea waves, can be devastating. In 2004, a 100-foot wave in the Indian Ocean resulted in at least 230,000 deaths in one of the deadliest natural disasters in human ...

The top layer represents the location of the sound source and the path of sound propagation (A). The bottom layers represent convergence zones with different sound propagation paths (B-F). Sound waves ...

The fin whale’s call is among the loudest in the ocean: It can even penetrate into Earth’s crust, a new study finds. Echoes in whale songs recorded by seismic instruments on the ocean floor reveal ...

These sound waves were then picked up by a receiver as a binary pattern with 1 being reflected sound waves and 0 being unreflected sound waves. This binary signal allows the UBL system to carry ...

Every so often mariners report the sighting of a huge wave towering up to 30 m above the regular swells of the ocean surface. No one is sure why these rogue waves form, but now physicists in the US ...

Strong winds are driving the ocean’s biggest waves to dizzying new heights. That’s the potentially ominous finding of new research that analyzed more than 30 years’ worth of global wind and wave ...

EARTH IS A BIG BALL OF WASTED POTENTIAL—energy potential, that is. Winds race across fields devoid of turbines, sunlight crashes against black asphalt shingles, and ocean waves beat unceasingly ...

Watching storm waves crash ashore, it's obvious these monsters are taller than the waves that lap the beach on a calm, sunny day. This seemingly clear dichotomy led geologists to assume that there ...

During recent storms, satellites recorded ocean waves averaging nearly 20 meters high—as tall as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the largest ever measured from space. Moreover, satellite data now ...

Introduction Did you know that not all animals use their ears to hear sounds? Snakes, for example, perceive sound waves through their jawbones! And many insects perceive sound waves through their ...
