It’s virtually impossible to predict when and where an earthquake will occur. Depending on your location and how big the ...

New research shows that slow, silent stress buildup and fault geometry are crucial in triggering earthquakes A new study has ...

Victims of the Al-Haouz earthquake, along with civil society activists, are calling for the extension of the monthly ...

Earthquakes are some of the most devastating catastrophes our planet can unleash, yet we are still all-too-often taken by ...

While some roads are blocked because of the earthquake, others are targeted by road thieves. The combination has complicated and delayed the process of shipping this year’s Passover necessities ...

Cyclic changes of fluid pressure in fault zones can induce slow-slip events that advance in the direction of fluid flow, even when the faults are stable.

Researchers have linked the process to the physical dynamics of materials under stress, which could transform understanding of earthquake triggers and potentially aid in predicting seismic events.

The team conducted experiments and developed theoretical models to demonstrate how slow, steady creep at stress thresholds transitions into the dynamic rupture associated with earthquakes.

We aim to assess the potential for megathrust earthquakes in the coastal region of the Guerrero state by establishing the first Mexican seafloor geodetic and seismic network to obtain slow earthquake ...

Aside from the danger they pose, such earthquakes disrupt the slow, long-term changes occurring at subduction zones. The cycle of sudden earthquakes and slow plate movement makes it difficult for ...

Even members of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party have raised concerns that the Kishida administration was slow out of the gate in addressing the earthquake. “The slow initial response was ...
