Medicine & TechnologyScientists at Duke University are studying earthquakes and have devised a “Proposed Melting Rocks” model that will foresee the initial movement of rock begins in several kinds of bedrock. Prior to developing this model for earthquakes, there was much guessing into what is happening under everyone’s feet.
A new seismic phenomenon called stormquakes has accidentally been discovered by researchers while looking for low-frequency earthquakes in seismographic data.
They say earthquakes will never be predictable, but new technology shows that it can gauge the full power of an earthquake a few seconds after it begins to tremble.
Scientists have long debunked the movie portrayal of earthquakes that are capable of ripping the ground open. On the contrary, Caltech proved that it is very much possible to happen under certain conditions.
The communities living in the southeast Alaska and the Yukon Territory were shaken up after an earthquake surfaced near Canada border, though no report of damage Is visible.
