Earth's crust is the planet's outermost layer ... One of the biggest risks during an earthquake is building collapse. Poorly built structures are at risk, but even well-built structures that are not ...

A University of Michigan study looking at a small region in Japan has shown that the properties of fault zone rocks really matter for the generation of earthquakes.

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 ...

South Carolina has high seismic activity despite not being on a plate boundary. Scientists still don't know the answer for ...

Using seismic stations usually used for monitoring earthquakes, an international team of geoscientists tracked Earth’s ...

Incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may improve seismic forecasts and save lives.

Tibet and Nepal lie on a major geological fault line where the Indian tectonic plate pushes up into the Eurasian plate, and earthquakes are a regular occurrence as a result of it. The region is ...
