Scientists have built a lab model that visually tracks how microscopic contact points between fault surfaces evolve during ...

The rocks themselves are telling us this is an important process,” Stanford geophysicist Eric Dunham said in a 2020 interview ...

A near-certain disaster looms for California, but there are real things people can do to prepare. Here's what to know about ...

Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault ...

Earthquakes create ripple effects in Earth's upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite communications and navigation ...

The earthquake shaking begins the process. For a magnitude 9 earthquake or over, that takes about four to six minutes. While the shaking is occurring the land is dropping, and, depending on tidal ...

They are more likely to cause damage in an earthquake. The goal of ShakeAlert is to capture the P-wave data, process it on the U.S.G.S.’s high-speed computers and make it available to government ...
