  • 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.

    • @Soken50
      @Soken50 2 роки тому

      I've been recommending Dutchsince to a lot of debunkers because he's been getting a decent following, is pretty good at staying off the radar and seeming rational when talking about actual earthquakes but then you go to his livestreams and you hear him talk about his predictions and how the USGS is harassing him and you quickly realise the guy is completely loopy and his following almost sectarian in how it's moderated. No one has bothered to take him on to date

    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.

  • @JustTheFacts2
