A rare, ultra-long earthquake in Myanmar revealed that mature faults can deliver their full force directly to the surface. The discovery could mean stronger shaking near faults like California’s San ...

Earthquake faults deep in the Earth can glue themselves back together following a seismic event, according to a new study led by researchers at the UC Davis. The work, published Nov. 19 in Science ...

TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, Ala. (WBMA) — The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has identified an unusual seismic event in west Alabama, classifying it not as an earthquake, but as a “mine collapse,” according to ...

Analysed earthquake sequence along the Marmara fault in the Sea of Marmara off the megacity of Istanbul: Green stars mark moderate earthquakes with a magnitude of M>5, circles of various sizes mark ...

The magnitude of an earthquake depends on how far a rupture travels along a fault line before it stops. For the first time, we have now directly observed how a large earthquake comes to a halt. By ...
