Nevada has been hit by multiple earthquakes in a region where the Earth’s crust is slowly pulling apart. The US Geological Survey detected two tremors on Monday, measuring 3.5 and 3.8 magnitudes, with ...

Not all earthquake faults behave the same. Some stick and snap, causing earthquakes. Others move slowly over time. For years, the leading explanation for slow-moving faults has been that high-pressure ...

A rare, ultra-long earthquake in Myanmar revealed that mature faults can deliver their full force directly to the surface. The discovery could mean stronger shaking near faults like California’s San ...

Earthquakes remain one of the top concerns for millions of Californians. While the San Andreas Fault dominates the public imagination, a leading expert says the state’s seismic risk is far more ...

Back-to-back earthquakes rocked the area north of Los Angeles near two of California's most significant faults — including the mighty San Andreas — sending shockwaves across the region.

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 ...

A June study found stress levels along key Southern California faults have reached 1,000-year highs, reinforcing warnings that the Los Angeles region is due for a major earthquake.

Earthquake faults deep in Earth can glue themselves back together following a seismic event, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Davis. The work, published in ...

A new study of the Seattle Fault Zone is revealing records of smaller, hidden earthquakes that could inform future hazard ...

Researchers mapped Myanmar's massive 2025 earthquake, revealing a rare fault rupture that reached the surface and outran ...
