Earthquakes don’t occur everywhere. They occur along the boundaries of the earth’s tectonic plates, along either known active faults or dormant faults. The East Coast is crisscrossed with ancient ...
Researchers are deliberately setting off real (small) earthquakes to understand how to gauge the danger of a fault line ...
The live test showcased the capabilities of the College of Engineering's Civil Engineering Research and Education Center, where researchers subject full-scale structural components to extreme ...
For years, textbooks taught that shallow faults—cracks in the Earth’s upper crust—were too stable to cause earthquakes. Once ...
First quakes are the most dangerous: Once a healed fault ruptures for the first time, it cannot generate another major ...
The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville's College of Engineering tested a full-scale steel beam against simulated earthquake ...
Machine learning is expanding scientists’ catalogs of quakes and refining maps of underground faults. It also promises to ...
A new laboratory earthquake model connects real contact area with earthquake dynamics, paving the way for improved prediction and early warning systems. Scientists have created a new laboratory model ...
The novel method could make it easier to predict Mount Etna's eruptions. In a new study, researchers at Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) analyzed a parameter called the ...
HELENA — The Helena Valley sits atop a variety of different sediments and rocks, making it particularly susceptible to earthquake damage should another major seismic event occur, like the magnitude ...
Oct 16 (Reuters) - An earthquake of magnitude 6.7 struck Papua province in Indonesia on Thursday, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said. The quake was at a depth of 70 km (43.5 miles), USGS ...
Are you prepared for an earthquake? The California Office of Emergency Services is making sure you are. Since California is located on the Ring of Fire and has many faults, it is one of the most ...
