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 ...
Understanding why this earthquake was so extraordinary requires a brief lesson in Earth’s structure. Most earthquakes we experience happen in Earth’s crust, the relatively thin outer layer ...
Deep within Earth’s mantle lie two enormous, continent-sized structures known as LLVPs. Scientists once believed these ...

Earthquake of magnitude 3.5 jolts Tibet
An earthquake of magnitude 3.5 jolted Tibet on Saturday. According to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), the ...
South Carolina has high seismic activity despite not being on a plate boundary. Scientists still don't know the answer for ...
The region is prone to seismic activity due to tectonic plate collisions, with earthquakes regularly impacting the area.
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 ...
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 ...
Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating more material in some areas and less in others — almost like creating hills ...
Heat from the sun affects earthquake activity on Earth, suggests new research. Incorporating solar activity predictions into ...
