A M6.0 earthquake occurred in the North Pacific ~10 pm PT last night. While we occasionally see intraplate (away from plate boundaries) seismicity in the pacific, the source of stresses in the mid ...

A research team utilized teleseismic double-difference tomography technology to uncover the morphological changes of the ...

This intraplate earthquake in the Rat Islands, an uninhabited stretch of the Aleutians, caused no reported damage or deaths. Despite the event’s intensity, both its extreme depth and its ...

These tend to be the most destructive earthquakes. In South Carolina the cause of the intraplate earthquakes is not so clear. From 2011 to 2024 South Carolina experienced 274 earthquakes ...

Earthquakes happen every day all over the world, along both tectonic plate edges and interiors. Earthquakes occur along faults, which are fractures between blocks of rock that allow the blocks to move ...

“From the tectonic point of view, we don't expect earthquakes in the state of Texas," he said. Savvaidis said Texas is located on the intraplate of the continent, which isn't supposed to see a ...

Despite the rarity of strong earthquakes, vulnerabilities exist. Earthquakes like last year’s were intraplate quakes, occurring within a tectonic plate rather than along its boundaries.
