Borehole sensors were placed to detect slow-motion seismic event “It’s like a ripple moving across the plate interface,” said ...

The magnitude-7.0 earthquake that shook Port-au-Prince, Haiti, two years ago nearly demolished the city and took both residents and geologists by surprise.

Earthquakes May Disrupt Menstrual Cycle, Study Finds. Published Sep 26, 2024 at 5:43 AM EDT. By . Hatty Willmoth is a Newsweek food and nutrition reporter based in London, U.K.

The long periodicity of the earthquake cycle suggests that small uncertainties in forecasting time (e.g., 1% error) translate to several years versus a few hours in the case of hurricane forecasts.

Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault surfaces to the possibility of earthquake occurrences. Published in the ...

Earthquakes can pull massive amounts of carbon into the deepest parts of Earth's deep-sea trenches, scientists have discovered. After analyzing the offshore magnitude 9 earthquake that devastated ...

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