Scientists detect 'boomerang' earthquake for the first time under Atlantic Ocean

After four years of research and for first time scientists have observed an infrequent of earthquake kwn as boomerang earthquake. This earthquake could help scientists in developing an early warning system. According to international media reports scientists from University of Southampton and Imperial College London did a study in which y found path of this earthquake under Atlantic Ocean. observation brought out that quake traveled in one direction between South American and African tectonic plates, n boomeranged back to start at ultra-fast speeds breaking seismic sound barrier.

More dangerous than a rmal earthquake 

As per scientists’ earthquakes usually come when pressure is built up between two pieces of Earth’s crust and it is released eventually. As a result of this, tremors are felt. If intensity is high, earthquakes can cause large-scale dam. But on or hand, a boomerang earthquake is more dangerous as compared to a rmal earthquake, because high speed of returning wave increases area of destruction. Commenting on boomerang earthquake scientist said that if a similar kind of earthquake hits on land, it would extremely affect amount of ground shaking and possibly widen impacted area. Garing more information and tracking more boomerang earthquakes would allow scientists to better predict future earthquakes.

Using underwater seismic sensors, scientists detected earthquake. research published in Nature Geoscience reveals that scientists recorded a 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Atlantic Ocean in 2016. "Whilst scientists have found that such a reversing rupture mechanism is possible from oretical models, our new study provides some of clearest evidence for this enigmatic mechanism occurring in a real fault," said Stephen Hicks, first author of study.
