When we think of earthquakes, we imagine sudden, violent shaking. But deep beneath the Earth's surface, some faults move in near silence. These slow, shuffling slips and their accompanying hum -- ...

A major fault in the Yukon, Canada, that has been quiet for at least 12,000 years may be capable of giving off earthquakes of at least magnitude 7.5, new research suggests. Based on the amount of ...

According to researchers from Science Tokyo, a new three-dimensional model of the fault beneath the Marmara Sea in Turkey ...

At the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest, one tectonic plate is moving underneath another. New experimental work at UC Davis shows how rocks on faults deep in the Earth can cement ...

Tiny earthquakes reveal hidden fault structures beneath Northern California, reshaping understanding of regional earthquake ...

Teasing out just what is happening below the Earth's shifty surface during an earthquake is no simple feat, but scientists have found a new tool that may help get a clearer picture of the minute ...
