As researchers find a rhythmic microseismic pulse from the ocean, Earth beats every 26 seconds. 🌍🌊
Our earth is constantly moving in ways we hardly notice. Every day, subtle tremors pass throughout the crust of Earth deep under oceans and continents.
Researchers analyzing seismic data found a strange pulse repeating around every 26 seconds. Microseisms, or these little vibrations, look to come from elsewhere in the ocean... probably related to waves interacting with the seafloor.
Researchers are still investigating precisely what gives rise to the rhythmic signal even if the phenomena has been researched for decades. It's a reminder that still waiting to be completely understood are patterns and rhythms of even the planet itself.
