Tiny Tremors: Unlocking Secrets of Earthquake Forecasting

Since 2002, these mysterious signals have been recorded in seismically active sections of Japan, the Pacific Northwest and California's San Andreas Fault. Seismologists believe that non-volcanic tremors may eventually prove useful in forecasting major earthquakes. But to accomplish that, they first have to figure out exactly where the signals are located–a daunting task, because the vibrations are not impulsive, and hence their origin is difficult to locate. …
