Scientists can’t predict when a major earthquake will happen; however, a new study shows that geological conditions for a ...
A hidden network of earthquake faults running beneath Seattle may be far more active than scientists realized. New research reveals that smaller “secondary” faults in the Seattle Fault Zone appear to ...
DALLAS (SMU) - Scientists from SMU, The University of Texas at Austin and Stanford University found that the majority of faults underlying the Fort Worth Basin are as sensitive to forces that could ...
Not all earthquake faults behave the same. Some stick and snap, causing earthquakes. Others move slowly over time. For years, the leading explanation for slow-moving faults has been that high-pressure ...

Seismologists are warning about a new fault line activity - and some say it's being downplayed
Something is shifting beneath our feet, and the scientific community is increasingly vocal about it. Across North America and beyond, seismologists have been raising alarms about fault systems that ...
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 ...

Scientists say the 'earthquake gate' between California's most stressed faults could trigger more dangerous quakes
Scientists Say the 'Earthquake Gate' Between California's Most Stressed Faults Could Trigger More Dangerous Quakes ...
Earthquake faults deep in Earth can glue themselves back together following a seismic event, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Davis. The work, published in ...
Earthquakes remain one of the top concerns for millions of Californians. While the San Andreas Fault dominates the public imagination, a leading expert says the state’s seismic risk is far more ...
Researchers modeled 1,000 years of earthquake history along Southern California's San Andreas and San Jacinto faults. What they found was troubling. Reading time 4 minutes No U.S. region is at greater ...
A rare pair of powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela just a minute apart — killing at least 920 people — is raising new questions for Californians about whether a similar ...
It appears the two big earthquakes in Venezuela that occurred in rapid succession may have involved two separate fault lines. Several faults intersect in this tectonically complex region.
