Earth Sciences | Read moreTremors on southern San Andreas Fault may mean increased earthquake risk
Increases in mysterious underground tremors observed in several active earthquake fault zones around the world could signal a build-up of stress at locked segments of the faults and presumably an incr...
Earth Sciences | Read moreSurprise: Typhoons trigger slow earthquakes
Slow earthquakes are non-violent fault slippage events that take hours or days instead of a few brutal seconds to minutes to release their potent energy. The researchers discuss their data in a study ...
Earth Sciences | Read moreA hidden drip, drip, drip beneath Earth's surface
There are very few places in the world where dynamic activity taking place beneath Earth's surface goes undetected.Volcanoes, earthquakes, and even the sudden uplifting or sinking of the ...
