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

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 ...

Scientists are uncovering a hidden and surprisingly complex earthquake zone beneath Northern California by tracking swarms of ...

Researchers have identified an ancient tectonic fragment, the Pioneer fragment, buried under the coast, which may exacerbate earthquake hazards associated with the San Andreas and Cascadia faults.

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 ...

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

Cause of Earthquakes: Earthquakes happen due to the sudden movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth’s crust. When stress builds up along plate boundaries or fault lines and the rocks can no ...

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 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 ...
