An earthquake typically sets off ruptures that ripple out from its underground origins. But on rare occasions, seismologists ...

A mathematical trick speeds up seismic calculations for earthquake simulations and could revolutionize earthquake preparedness.

Earthquakes are usually linked to natural movements along faults deep inside the Earth, but in certain situations, human activity can also produce mea.

Some large earthquakes may flip direction and “boomerang” back, striking the same area twice and reshaping damage patterns.

Mantle plumes beneath volcanic hotspots, like Hawaii, Iceland, and the Galapagos, seem to be anchored into a large structure within the core-mantle boundary (CMB). A new study, published in Science ...

We treat gravity as a firm law, but the ground beneath Antarctica tells a ...

The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...

The Moon is slowly shrinking as its interior cools, and that contraction is generating faults and seismic activity in the ...

At a event in Washington D.C., A U.S. official said a remote earthquake in 2020 was caused by a Chinese nuclear test.
