It was a groundbreaking discovery. Scientists have found previously concealed fault lines along California’s north coast, sparking concerns that we could be drastically underestimating the earthquake ...

An underwater spring is gushing water into the ocean at unprecedented levels giving researchers additional insights into plate tectonics but not — despite some news reports — any indications of an ...

Three huge tectonic plates meet at the Mendocino triple junction off the coast of northern California, and a new study ...

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

By tracking swarms of very small earthquakes, seismologists are getting a new picture of the complex region where the San ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Margarete Jadamec, a University at Buffalo expert on Alaskan plate tectonics, is available to discuss the 7.0 earthquake in the Anchorage area, and how the region’s unique geology ...

Scientists studying rocks in South Africa report evidence for the earliest known earthquake triggered by plate tectonics. The temblor struck more than 3 billion years ago. The rocks preserve telltale ...

Almost like aftershocks, questions about earthquake prediction tend to follow disasters like the Feb. 6, 2023, Turkey-Syria quake. Could advance notice have prevented some of the devastation?

No scientist has "ever predicted a major earthquake," the U.S. Geological Survey says. It's a point that bears repeating: On the same day a 7.8 magnitude quake and a string of aftershocks caused ...

Earthquakes could theoretically be predicted 2 hours before they occur, saving countless lives – but we must first develop GPS sensors that are 100 times more precise than those in use today. Over the ...
