Regions of Earth's lower mantle scatter incoming seismic waves, which return to the surface as PKP waves at differing speeds. The origin the precursor signals, which arrive ahead of the main ...

The sunken slab now sits sandwiched between the upper and lower mantle, in the mantle transition zone. This transition zone stretches between 255 and 410 miles (410 to 660 kilometers) deep beneath ...

Success also depends on lower borrowing costs spurring new investment and spending to counteract any slowdown. Fed Chair Jerome Powell cast last week’s half-point reduction in interest rates as ...

“Less interest on your cash means you’re losing return, plus, (that lower) interest will be taxable at a higher rate. This will affect savers across the board.” One of the most significant ...
