Summary:
Reading Time: 2 minutes Earthquakes teach us about the interior workings of Earth. Without them, we would not know about the core or any layering deeper than a couple kilometers. Researchers from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, MIT and Earthquake Research Institute Tokyo have now proposed a new triggering mechanism for earthquakes. Triggered earthquakes happen due to a certain […] The post Cascading Earthquakes – Seismic waves can trigger another earthquake appeared first on The Way of the Geophysicist.
