They captured the event using advanced borehole sensors installed deep beneath the ocean floor in a region known as the ...

Two slow-motion earthquakes took several weeks to travel 20 miles along the fault. Each happened in places where geologic ...

The upcoming GLC is slightly longer than its gasoline-powered counterpart to accommodate the 94.5 kWh battery pack. Mercedes ...

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 ...

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

Abrupt earthquake-triggered land changes are not a new idea. The earliest written accounts of great earthquakes causing the land to rise or fall are from China and date back to nearly 4,000 years ago.
