For nearly eight years, North Korea has not announced another nuclear test at Mount Mantap. But the ground beneath the ...

Scientists recorded 1,399 local quakes since North Korea began its underground nuclear tests—a spike unlike anything the ...

Hundreds of earthquakes rattled California over the weekend. Here's what experts say about the activity and the risk of the ...

"Subtle, immature faults may pose a greater seismic hazard than the prominent, large faults that we traditionally focus on." ...

A swarm of seven earthquakes struck the New Madrid Seismic Zone within hours. The active fault produces around 200 earthquakes a year and has a history of devastating quakes across the central United ...

The risk of a major earthquake along a U.S. fault line has increased, according to a new study. KABC reports the U.S. Geological Survey released new data showing an earthquake with a 6.7-or-greater ...

Canada could be hit by devastating earthquakes after scientists discovered that a fault line thought to have been inactive for millions of years is very much alive. The Tintina Fault in northwestern ...

Scientists discovered that deep earthquake faults can heal far faster than expected, sometimes within hours. Slow slip events in Cascadia reveal repeated fault movements that only make sense if the ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault surfaces to the possibility of earthquake occurrences. Published in the ...

An earthquake typically sets off ruptures that ripple out from its underground origins. But on rare occasions, seismologists have observed quakes that reverse course, further shaking up areas that ...
