Scientists at Stanford University have created the first global map of earthquakes occurring not in the Earth’s crust, but in ...

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 ...

Stanford University researchers have pulled back a curtain on a hidden part of Earth that rarely makes headlines. Their new ...

Seismologists Discover Hidden Faults Beneath One of the U.S.'s Biggest Earthquake Hotspots ...

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 ...

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 ...

Stanford researchers have created the first-ever global map of a rare earthquake type that occurs not in Earth's crust but in ...

When tens of thousands of earthquakes shook Santorini, the cause wasn’t just shifting tectonic plates—it was rising magma. Scientists tracked about 300 million cubic meters of molten rock pushing up ...

Seismic symphonies of minor earthquakes may affect grand movements on major faults. Small and distant earthquakes can disrupt the growth of slow-slip events — gradual fault movements that can release ...
