A new 3D model is giving scientists a clearer look at what’s happening deep beneath the Marmara Sea and where the next major ...

On Jan. 1, 2024, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to shifting tectonic plates. The ...

This new three-dimensional (3D) model of resistivity beneath the North Anatolian fault will help earth scientists more accurately identify areas at risk of major earthquakes. A new three-dimensional ...

Just how big was last week’s earthquake that hit Russia and created a tsunami that dispersed energy throughout the entirety of the Pacific Ocean? At magnitude 8.8 on modern seismic instruments, it ...

A study looking at a small region in Japan has shown that the properties of fault zone rocks really matter for the generation of earthquakes. Earthquakes occur along fault lines between continental ...

EUGENE, Ore. (NBC) -- When an earthquake rips along the Cascadia Subduction Zone fault, much of the U.S. West Coast could shake violently for five minutes, and tsunami waves as tall as 100 feet could ...

Scientists used supercomputer simulation to reveal the underlying mechanism by which the irregular fault geometry, characterized by multisegments, controlled the variation of the fault slip and ...
