Tremors beneath Northern California show hidden plate movement, helping scientists better understand where future big ...

A video going around the Internet at the moment in geologist circles appears to show what might be the first ever fault movement caught on camera. On March 28, 2025, the city of Mandalay, Myanmar was ...

A massive 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar in March 2025, but what makes this event extraordinary is what happened next. For the first time, a nearby CCTV camera captured the fault rupture in ...

A study published in the journal Tectonics has provided new insights into the forces that cause tectonic movements in Europe's most seismically active regions. Researchers used advanced satellite data ...

Using single calcite crystals with varying surface roughness allows engineers to simplify the complex physics that describes fault movement. Researchers now show how this simplification may lead to ...

The 7.5- magnitude earthquake beneath Japan’s Noto Peninsula on Jan. 1, 2024, occurred when a “dual-initiation mechanism” applied enough energy from two different locations to break through a fault ...

A groundbreaking study has provided new insights into the forces that cause tectonic movements in Europe’s most seismically active regions. Researchers used advanced satellite data to track land ...

When a magnitude 7.7 earthquake shook Myanmar on March 28, 2025, it wasn’t just another powerful tremor—it was a geological curveball. The quake ripped open more than 500 kilometers (317 miles) of the ...

New research shows that three sites spread along an approximately 620-mile portion of today's Denali Fault were once a smaller united geologic feature indicative of the final joining of two land ...
