Oceanic transform faults are strike-slip boundaries—faults that move horizontally rather than up and down and connect offset ...

Scientists used artificial intelligence to find hidden slow fault movements. These silent events occur beneath California's ...

Southern California could be inching closer to the kind of major earthquake scientists have long expected, according to new ...

Scientists say the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults are more stressed than at any time in 1,000 years, raising questions about future California quakes.

In fault gouge, fluids drive chemical healing by cementing grains, a mechanism for seismic slip in rocks frictionally ...

In earthquake country, the meandering paths of quake faults easily get seared into memory in the same way as a California freeway map. An earthquake fault is a fracture in the ground between two ...

A research group led by Satoshi Ide from the University of Tokyo has demonstrated that classic earthquake generation theory does not hold in areas where the angle at which a tectonic plate dips under ...

New research finds the San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems are in a “critically loaded” state, with stress levels that could support large earthquakes.

Venezuela and its capital, Caracas, were rocked by two massive earthquake pulses on June 24, 2026, just seconds apart. The shaking from the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 events caused buildings to collapse in ...
