Using single calcite crystals with varying surface roughness allows engineers to simplify the complex physics that describes fault movement. Researchers now show how this simplification may lead to ...

The 7.5- magnitude earthquake beneath Japan's Noto Peninsula on Jan. 1, 2024, occurred when a 'dual-initiation mechanism' applied enough energy from two different locations to break through a fault ...

A massive fault line that was long considered dormant is showing signs of activity, raising concerns among scientists and residents alike. Recent seismic events have prompted a re-examination of this ...

The video shows the fault slipped horizontally by 8.2 feet in only 1.3 seconds. The magnitude 7.7 event took place on March 28 along the Sagaing Fault with an epicenter near Myanmar’s second-largest ...

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A powerful earthquake rocked Myanmar and neighboring Thailand Friday, causing widespread damage and a death toll that officials expect to climb in the days ahead. The ...

A study published in the journal Tectonics has provided new insights into the forces that cause tectonic movements in Europe's most seismically active regions. Researchers used advanced satellite data ...

Oblique aerial view of San Andreas Fault (between white arrows) in southeastern Coachella Valley, Calif. (Michael Rymer/U.S. Geological Survey) The San Andreas may be the most well-known fault in ...

When we think of earthquakes, we imagine sudden, violent shaking. But deep beneath the Earth’s surface, some faults move in near silence. These slow, shuffling slips and their accompanying hum — ...

When a magnitude 7.7 earthquake shook Myanmar on March 28, 2025, it wasn’t just another powerful tremor—it was a geological curveball. The quake ripped open more than 500 kilometers (317 miles) of the ...

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 ...
