  • We just learned about all the layers of the Earth, but how did we accumulate this information? How do we know the composition of these layers and the depths at which they occur? The answer is seismology! Let's learn about the different kinds of seismic waves, their properties, and how geologists have used them to discern the composition of the Earth in astounding detail.

    Awesomely succinct video! I think the only detail missing is specifically noting that we know the core has liquid and not just some strange type of solid, because S-waves cannot travel in liquids due to their fundamental inability to support a shear stress.

    Do earthquakes ever happen at the poles? I have an earthquake notification app on my iPhone that I frequently like to check and in the entire time I've been using this app (approx 2 years) I've never seen an earthquake detected at either pole. Is there any particular reason for this? Is it simply just a lack of fault lines in those regions?
    I've seen some inside the Arctic circle in Alaska but what I'm wondering about is closer to the poles. I don't think I've seen one anywhere in Antarctica. Just curious. Thanks!

    I believe we do know that fundamentally the wave-particle duality is not binary, as an exciton can be 'bound' to a photon, and based on how this is done you can tune the resultant quasi-particle to act in a way that is partially wave-like and partially particle-like in different ratios. This has been used to test the properties of different 2D materials especially ones with properties similar to topological insulators.
