Scientists from Oregon State University used seismic waves from fin whale songs to unravel the mysteries of the ocean floor.
People often think that seismic waves are signals of tectonic events. However, these vibrations help scientists get a clear picture of the Earth’s internal structure. By observing the shifts in vibrations as they encounter different materials, researchers can picture where different rock layers meet, where rocks become molten, and more.
