Seismic tremors reveal a shallow fragment of ancient tectonic plate beneath Northern California, helping explain damaging ...

By tracking swarms of very small earthquakes, seismologists are getting a new picture of the complex region where the San ...

Seismologists have discovered hidden faults at the Mendocino Triple Junction by tracking tiny earthquakes using a new ...

Invisible earthquakes are revealing a hidden tectonic puzzle beneath California’s most dangerous fault zone.

Earthquakes themselves affect the movement of Earth's tectonic plates, which in turn could impact on future earthquakes, according to new research from the University of Copenhagen. This new knowledge ...

SEATTLE — The threat of an earthquake at any given moment in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho is real. Right below our feet is the meeting place of multiple tectonic plates, slowly moving and pushing ...

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 ...

Take yourself back to fifth-grade science for a second. You might have learned that earthquakes are caused by the sudden movement of big, underground sheets of rock, called tectonic plates. Your ...

Learn how faults beneath the Earth's surface can heal themselves after slowly releasing stress from the movement of tectonic plates. After faults deep in the Earth get shaken up from a ...

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 ...

Earthquakes are more common in some parts of the world, but as many in the northeast US found out today, they can happen anywhere. When tectonic plates get grumpy and shift, it creates seismic waves ...
