madalseis
Madalseis is a phenomenon observed in certain types of seismic waves, specifically in the study of seismology. It refers to a particular pattern of wave propagation that can occur in Earth's interior, particularly within the mantle. This pattern is characterized by the way seismic waves refract and reflect off boundaries and gradients within the Earth. Understanding madalseis is crucial for seismologists to accurately map the internal structure of our planet.
The term itself is derived from Norwegian and can be loosely translated as "mad" or "crazy" waves,
Scientists use sophisticated seismic networks to record these waves generated by earthquakes. By analyzing the arrival
