InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) is a robotic NASA spacecraft designed to study the deep interior structure of Mars. InSight, the first rover specifically equipped to “look beneath” Mars’ surface, aimed to measure the planet’s vital signs—its pulse (seismology), temperature (heat flow), and reflexes (geodesy). Launched on 5 May 2018, the spacecraft successfully landed on Mars on 26 November 2018 and concluded its mission in December 2022. Sc

The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a seismic event of magnitude 7.0 that occurred on January 12, 2010 at 16:53 local time, near the town of Léogâne approximately 25 kilometers southwest of Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince. This rupture, occurring at a depth of about 13 kilometers beneath the surface, is identified by seismological data as the most destructive earthquake recorded in the region over the past 200 years.BBC News Türkçe, "Haiti'de deprem felaketi," BBC, erişim 22 Aralık 2025, https://www.b

2026 Venezuela Earthquakes, two consecutive earthquakes of magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5 that occurred on Wednesday, 24 June 2026 in Venezuela, approximately 39 seconds apart. The earthquakes caused buildings to collapse and damaged critical infrastructure, particularly in the central and western regions of the country, including the capital Caracas. Venezuela’s Acting Head of State Delcy Rodríguez announced in her statement that at least 32 people had lost their lives and more than 700 were injured, d

Seismology is the scientific discipline that studies earthquakes and the vibrations they generate on the Earth's surface. Vibrations caused by fractures in the Earth's crust propagate in the form of waves. Seismology is used to understand how these waves move, which regions they affect, and what they reveal about the Earth's internal structure. What Do Seismologists Do? Seismologists are scientists who study earthquakes and seismic waves. Their work enables the identification of an earthquake’s

The Erzincan Earthquake was a magnitude 7.9 quake that occurred on 27 December 1939 at approximately 02:00 local time with its epicenter in Erzincan. İlhan Haçin.
