Earthquakes can be triggered by the Earth’s tides, UCLA scientists confirmed Oct. 21 in Science Express, the online journal of Science. Earth tides are produced by the gravitational pull of the moon ...

Earth’s body tide—also known as the solid Earth tide, the displacement of the solid Earth’s surface caused by gravitational forces from the Moon and the Sun—is sensitive to the density of the two ...

We’ve all heard of ocean tides, but have you ever heard of Earth tides? Yes, just like the ocean, the Earth’s crust also moves up and down daily. Just like ocean tides, Earth tides occur because of ...

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Did you know that the entire Earth is being ripped out from under us? Or that the Earth's tides are like a massive, cosmic game of juggling? Find out ...

Scientists have captured magnetic signatures from Earth's ocean tides in the finest detail yet. These faint signals, which certain satellites can detect when flying at very low orbits, may hold clues ...

Tides induced in the solid Earth by the Sun and Moon have allowed researchers to characterize the density of the deep mantle. The results suggest that two large, low-shear-velocity provinces (LLSVPs) ...

Faults in the Ridgecrest, California area were very sensitive to solid earth tidal stresses in the year and a half before the July 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence, researchers reported at the ...
