The highest hazard areas are near major, active faults. But strong and damaging shaking is "possible anywhere in California." ...

Scientists recreated earthquakes in the lab to uncover how quake energy is split between heat, shaking, and rock damage.

The government’s latest probability figures for a long-expected Nankai Trough megaquake show that even Japan’s best ...

A new study revealed that researchers utilize a Stanford-developed AI model and thousands of seismic data points to assess the earthquake risk of Campi Flegrei volcanic area near ...

Surprisingly, they found that only around 10% of a quake’s energy causes the physical shaking most people associate with ...

Up to 98 percent of the energy of an earthquake goes into flash heating rocks, not shaking the ground, new research shows. The finding could help yield better earthquake forecasts ...

A team of AI scientists and seismologists has developed a pioneering self-supervised framework, DASFormer, for high-resolution earthquake monitoring. Built on a two-stage, coarse-to-fine architecture, ...

MIT geologists discover 80% of earthquake energy converts into heat, with implications for seismic risk assessment.

The cause of the 2025 Santorini earthquakes has finally been revealed, along with a secret hydraulic system fueled by ...

FENTON, Mo. — An earthquake shook the ground far beneath Fenton, Missouri, early Friday morning, but it likely wasn't felt by many residents. The U.S. Geological Survey confirmed that a 2.4 magnitude ...

As catastrophic as the 2011 northern Japan quake and tsunami was—killing more than 15,000 people and causing more than $200 billion in economic damages—in a way, the country was lucky. Tokyo, a city ...
