Scientists at Stanford have unveiled the first-ever global map of rare earthquakes that rumble deep within Earth’s mantle rather than its crust. Long debated and notoriously difficult to confirm, ...

Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

Researchers were once unsure whether mantle earthquakes existed. Now they have a global map of this mysterious phenomenon.

An earthquake typically sets off ruptures that ripple out from its underground origins. But on rare occasions, seismologists ...
