Pay Later services are typically used on large purchases, like furniture. But now one service is branching out into fast food ...

Thousands of homes across Ventura County and throughout Southern California remain vulnerable to the devastating impacts of a ...

A series of seven earthquakes recently rocked the East Bay. Three of the seven quakes had a magnitude of 3.0 or higher and ...

When comparing the original laser signal with the light that exits the fiber optic cable, researchers can determine the strength of the seismic wave by checking how much the beam was distorted. Data ...

Strain slowly builds up until the fault’s frictional strength is exceeded and the rocks slip past each other in a “megathrust” earthquake. Washington Geologic Survey Another common misconception is ...

Yet, many aspects of earthquake behavior remain puzzling. Shifts in tectonic plates and the buildup of strain energy typically drive these events. However, some researchers believe solar heat might ...

scientists understand that earthquakes occur when tectonic plates shift, causing strain energy to accumulate. Eventually, ...

Seismologists understand the fundamental mechanics of earthquakes: as tectonic plates shift, they build up strain energy that eventually releases, triggering seismic events. However, accurately ...

Seismology has previously revealed that tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. But scientists say there’s still much ...

Seismology has revealed much of the basics about earthquakes: Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As for ...
