It was a groundbreaking discovery. Scientists have found previously concealed fault lines along California’s north coast, ...

According to researchers from Science Tokyo, a new three-dimensional model of the fault beneath the Marmara Sea in Turkey ...

By tracking swarms of very small earthquakes, seismologists are getting a new picture of the complex region where the San Andreas fault meets the Cascadia subduction zone, an area that could give rise ...

In an article published in Science Advances, a collaborative team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) presents a never-before-seen image of an oceanic transform fault from ...

A new three-dimensional model of the fault beneath the Marmara Sea in Türkiye reveals where a future major earthquake could ...

What if the earth under your feet was quietly accumulating enough energy to release a disaster of rare proportion in North America? Deep in the wilderness of Canada’s Yukon Territory, mounting ...

Scientists discovered that deep earthquake faults can heal far faster than expected, sometimes within hours. Slow slip events in Cascadia reveal repeated fault movements that only make sense if the ...

The National Science Foundation funded work reveals unexpected brine deposits beneath the seafloor near the fault, which could change the way we conceptualize oceanic transform faults. The Gofar fault ...

A hidden chunk of an ancient tectonic plate is stuck to the Pacific Ocean floor and sliding under North America, complicating earthquake risk at the Cascadia subduction zone.

California's earthquakes are far more likely to be "overdue" compared with earthquakes in the rest of the world. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
