Faults' hot streaks and slumps could change earthquake hazard assessments Date: September 23, 2019 Source: Geological Society of America Summary: For more than a century, a guiding principle in ...

Mount Rainier is an active stratovolcano 45 miles southeast of Tacoma and 60 miles south-southeast of Seattle. Its last ...

As contact areas change during the earthquake cycle, they affect multiple measurable properties including electrical conductivity, hydraulic permeability and seismic wave transmission.

Scientists detected a slow-motion earthquake off Japan, offering rare insight into hidden faults and tsunami risks beneath the seafloor.

New research led by the University of Victoria (UVic) has illuminated a significant and previously unrecognized source of ...

What they found is that earthquakes cluster through time, but their location around the world was seemingly random. And overall, activity peaked on a 32-year cycle.

The earthquake of 1700 was a “fast earthquake.” In the past 10 years or so, geologists have confirmed there are also “slow earthquakes,” deep earth movements that take place over the ...

Records of complete earthquake cycles are rare. Analysis of historical nautical charts and modern GPS data that record a full earthquake cycle in Chile show that great earthquakes can create small ...

New Explanation For Earthquake Supercycles. Whilst earthquakes can be caused in a number of different ways, supercyles have only been observed in regions where one tectonic plate is being pushed ...
