Monitoring stations around Mount Adams noted nine earthquakes ranging from magnitude 0.9 to 2.0 near the volcano between ...

Earthquakes occur along fault lines between continental plates, where one plate is diving beneath another. Pressure builds between each plate, called fault stress. When this stress builds enough to ...

Solar heat may influence earthquakes and their timings by altering rock brittleness and underground water movement.

Scientists warn seismic energy accumulating under the Chishima Trench off Hokkaido has the potential to trigger a magnitude-8 ...

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

The Italian city has been shaken by its strongest earthquake in 40 years, and is part of a growing pattern of seismic unrest across Southern Europe. Environmental scientist Deborah R. Coen looks at ...
