When the 8.2 magnitude Chignik earthquake hit off the coast of Alaska in 2021, it was a big warning signal.The largest ...

Scientists at Stanford have unveiled the first-ever global map of rare earthquakes that rumble deep within Earth’s mantle rather than its crust. Long debated and notoriously difficult to confirm, ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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

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

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

Scientists have placed two seismometers 8000 feet below the ice cap at the South Pole to measure earthquakes and support tsunami alerts.

San Ramon, Calif., has been rattled by dozens of small earthquakes in recent months. Even in a region used to regular shaking, it’s been a lot.
