Earth is emmiting 'Love Waves'

The newfound vibration is made of two-minute to five-minute, side-to-side surface seismic waves, also called Love waves. They are named for the British mathematician Augustus Edward Hough Love, who created the mathematical model of such waves in 1911.

All of the planet's natural oscillations have signatures, or "modes" of vibration, depending on where and how they are created by earthquakes, ocean waves or other forces. Among the suspects for making the Love wave hum are winds, ocean waves or even the sun.

The Love wave is a mode that essentially torques the Earth's north and south hemispheres against each other. It's as if the planet is dancing the Twist, explained Rudolf Widmer-Schnidrig of the Black Forest Observatory in Wolfach, Germany, and the Institute of Geophysics at the University of Stuttgart. This gentle, faint twisting is called the "toroidal" mode.

"Standing on the surface of the Earth, you would only experience a horizontal motion left-right-left," if you were sensitive enough to feel it, Widmer-Schnidrig told Discovery News. "To picture this you imagine holding a metal or maybe rubber rod in your hands. Now twist the two ends of the rod in opposite sense and let go.

The two halves of the rod will perform small oscillatory twisting motions in opposite directions. That's what the two hemispheres of the Earth would also do."

Far, far away from that global cacophony, at the extreme other end of the power scale, is the newfound toroidal Love wave hum, Widmer-Schnidrig explained. This mode moves the Earth's surface a mere millionth of a meter every five minutes and dissipates less than 500 watts of energy.

"In other words, with the power needed by 10 light bulbs you could keep up the hum worldwide," said Widmer-Schnidrig. "This is unbelievable, I know. But maybe it lets you appreciate the minuscule amplitude of this oscillation."

It also explains why it has taken 10 years after the detection of Earth's roaring spheroidal ring to capture Earth's whispering twist, Widmer-Schnidrig said.

The trick to the discovery was locating four extremely quiet seismic stations and then merging the data from their most quiet periods to tease out the tiny signal. The stations are the German Black Forest Observatory (BFO), Baijiatuan in China, and the Japanese Matsushiro and Takato stations. The newfound vibration is made of two-minute to five-minute, side-to-side surface... more
