AI Finds Previously Unknown Structures on Earth in Earthquake Data

Under our feet is an unknown realm: at the edge of the Earth's core, researchers detect regions in which seismic waves are scattered in an unusual way. Anomalies spread across entire continents. But where do they come from?
Studying the internal processes of our planet remains one of the most difficult tasks for modern science, although it is events at a depth of many kilometers that shape geological activity on the surface.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is demonstrating its superior power in discovering previously unknown things.
Since scientists cannot drill a hole 2,900 km deep to the boundary between the Earth's core and deep mantle, they must use information obtained from the road.
Nearly 2,900 kilometres below our feet, the boundary between the nucleus and the mantle is home to still largely mysterious structures. By analysing through deep learning over 2 million seismic recordings, researchers have detected very tenuous seismic signals, revealing six...
Nearly 2,900 kilometres below our feet, the boundary between the rocky mantle and the metal core remains totally inaccessible. Scientists can only explore it by following the waves of the earthquakes that pass through it. A new analysis has just revealed six vast structures previously unknown, stretched over thousands of kilometres.
