A crustal section across the Puerto Rico trench
TL;DR: In this paper, a crustal section across the Puerto Rico Trench, from 450 km north to 250 km south of San Juan, was deduced from seismic refraction and gravity data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continental margins and geosynclines: The east coast of North America north of Cape Hatteras
TL;DR: In the last twenty years, many geophysical measurements, including seismic refraction, gravity, magnetics, and echo soundings, have been made along the continental margin of eastern North America north of Cape Hatteras as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a 21-day operation for 21 days at Tranquillity Base revealed, among strong signals produced by the Apollo 11 lunar module descent stage, a small proportion of probable natural seismic signals.

TL;DR: Seismic data from two lunar impacts suggest that the lunar mare in the region of the Apollo 12 landing site consists of material with very low seismic velocities near the surface, with velocity increasing with depth to 5 to 6 kilometers per second at a depth of 20 kilometers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Free oscillations of the Earth observed on strain and pendulum seismographs
TL;DR: Spectral analyses of seismograms of the great Chilean earthquake of May 22, 1960, from a newly installed strain seismograph at Ogdensburg, New Jersey, and from pendulum seismographs at Palisades, New York, have revealed spectral peaks corresponding to fundamental spheroidal modes 2 to 34, fundamental torsional modes 1 to 9, and the first overtone of the second sphroidal mode as mentioned in this paper.
