Geophysics: Humming a different tune
Toshiro Tanimoto1
Abstract
Earth breathes in and out, murmuring gently to itself as it does so. The habit has been ascribed to the tickling effects of ocean waves — but a new-found twisting oscillation might reopen the search for the source.
Over the past decade, the word 'hum' has acquired a special meaning for seismologists. No longer just what they might do under the shower, it connotes for them a fundamental resonant oscillation of the Earth.
