Scientists at Stanford University have created the first global map of earthquakes occurring not in the Earth’s crust, but in ...

A groundbreaking study has provided new insights into the forces that cause tectonic movements in Europe’s most seismically active regions. Researchers used advanced satellite data to track land ...

SEATTLE — The threat of an earthquake at any given moment in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho is real. Right below our feet is the meeting place of multiple tectonic plates, slowly moving and pushing ...

A study on tectonic plates that converge on the Tibetan Plateau has shown that Earth's fault lines are far weaker and the ...

When tens of thousands of earthquakes shook Santorini, the cause wasn’t just shifting tectonic plates—it was rising magma. Scientists tracked about 300 million cubic meters of molten rock pushing up ...

Seismologists Discover Hidden Faults Beneath One of the U.S.'s Biggest Earthquake Hotspots ...

Take yourself back to fifth-grade science for a second. You might have learned that earthquakes are caused by the sudden movement of big, underground sheets of rock, called tectonic plates. Your ...

A new 3D subsurface model shows how variations in rock strength beneath the Marmara Sea could trigger future large earthquakes along the North Anatolian Fault. The findings improve understanding of ...

The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of 1995 prompted the government to establish a nationwide network to monitor seismic activity, and this unparalleled and sophisticated observation system is making ...
