🌍🔊 Earthquakes create infrasonic booms—low-frequency vibrations the Earth’s surface sends into the air like a giant speaker! These infrasounds can help quickly assess quake damage and distinguish natural quakes from underground explosions. Fascinating science below human hearing! 👂🌐 #EarthquakeScience #Infrasound #Geophysics https://www.livescience.com/24209-earthquakes-infrasound.html
