An international study published in Communications Earth & Environment has advanced earthquake simulations to better anticipate the rupture process of large earthquakes. Using data for the Turkey ...

Scientists have built a lab model that visually tracks how microscopic contact points between fault surfaces evolve during earthquake cycles, revealing the hidden mechanics behind both the slow ...

On Jan. 1, 2024, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to shifting tectonic plates. The ...

On January 1, 2008, at 1:59 am in Calipatria, California, an earthquake happened. You haven’t heard of this earthquake; even if you had been living in Calipatria, you wouldn’t have felt anything. It ...

Tens of thousands of tiny earthquakes which went undetected for years have been revealed under the Yellowstone supervolcano, potentially paving the way to predict future natural disasters. An ...

For the first time in 2025 an earthquake was recorded in a part of South Carolina that borders on the Charlotte, North Carolina area, as seismic activity was recorded early Thursday morning. A 2.2 ...
