Surprisingly, they found that only around 10% of a quake’s energy causes the physical shaking most people associate with earthquakes. Overall, anywhere between 68 and 98% of the energy goes into ...
Most earthquake energy turns into heat rather than ground shaking, sometimes hot enough to melt rock in microseconds. MIT’s lab quakes reveal this hidden balance and its role in seismic risk.
Hidden barrier found 400 miles inside Venus that blocks rising hot rock and creates ring-shaped volcanic features called coronae.
