A crew of scientists, engineers, and ship's crew on the analysis vessel Neil Armstrong operated by the Woods Gap Oceanographic Establishment (WHOI) just lately collected a 38-foot-long cylindrical sediment pattern from the deepest a part of the Puerto Rico Trench, practically 5 miles under the floor.

Indicators of a 1755 earthquake that was sturdy sufficient to topple steeples and chimneys in Boston could be seen in a sediment core drawn from jap Massachusetts' Sluice Pond, in accordance with a brand new report.
