Shrinking lakes in Tibet likely woke up long-dormant tectonic faults, a new study finds. The findings strengthen the link between climate change and earthquakes ...

At the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest, one tectonic plate is moving underneath another. New experimental work at UC Davis shows how rocks on faults deep in the Earth can cement ...

When we think of earthquakes, we imagine sudden, violent shaking. But deep beneath the Earth's surface, some faults move in near silence. These slow, shuffling slips and their accompanying hum -- ...

A colossal 7.7 magnitude earthquake rocked central Myanmar in March 2025, marking the strongest quake in over a century. What makes this event groundbreaking isn't just the seismic power, it's the ...

They are two of the West Coast's most destructive generators of huge earthquakes: the San Andreas fault in California and the Cascadia subduction zone offshore of California's North Coast, Oregon, ...

Mendocino triple junction in California revealed it changed earthquake prediction. (Image: Canva) Hidden faults discovered under Mendocino triple junction in Northern California. New faults increase ...

Earthquake faults deep in the Earth can glue themselves back together following a seismic event, according to a new study led by researchers at the UC Davis. The work, published Nov. 19 in Science ...
