First global map of mantle earthquakes reveals seismic activity far beneath continents, challenging old ideas about Earth’s ...

Stanford University researchers have pulled back a curtain on a hidden part of Earth that rarely makes headlines. Their new ...

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 ...

A new theoretical study explores how activity high above Earth could subtly influence processes deep within the planet’s crust. Researchers at Kyoto University are advancing a new idea about how space ...

Global distribution of natural and induced seismicity. Natural earthquakes with moment magnitude higher than 5 are color-coded according to their hypocenter depth (upper right colorbar, U.S.

(A) Coseismic landslide inventories within the Alpine-Himalayan and Circum-Pacific belts. (B) The enlarged view of highlighted 38 earthquakes. The five Köppen-Geiger climate zones are here simplified ...

When most people think of earthquakes, they think of California fault lines. But the most active earthquake zone east of the Rocky Mountains runs straight through the middle of the country — including ...

"The good news about earthquake swarms is they don’t appear to lead to bigger quakes. Not a single one has ever been associated with a major earthquake." ...

Two minor earthquakes in the New York metro area occurred this week. The recent, small earthquakes that rattled the New York metro area serve as a reminder that seismic activity does occur in the ...
