Researchers from the University of Tsukuba in Japan have identified a link between sunspot cycles and earthquake occurrences, providing fresh insights into how the sun’s fluctuations may influence the ...

Solar-driven temperature shifts alter rock properties and underground water movement, potentially making the Earth’s crust ...

An earthquake, or seismic event ... Tectonic stresses are released, the fault becomes locked again, and the seismic cycle begins anew.

Experts say the Salt Lake Valley’s segment of the Wasatch fault is at an acute juncture in a recurring 1,400-year geologic cycle of massive earthquakes. Seismic predictors point to a matter of ...

This information is particularly vital given that the Main Marmara Fault is considered to be late in its seismic cycle, meaning that a large earthquake is overdue. The present study does not ...

Heat from the sun affects earthquake activity on Earth, suggests new research. Incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may improve seismic forecasts - and ...
