Stress levels beneath Southern California’s two most dangerous fault systems have climbed to their highest in at least 1,000 ...

A new study suggests Southern California's major fault system is more stressed than at any point in the last 1,000 years.

Scientists Say the 'Earthquake Gate' Between California's Most Stressed Faults Could Trigger More Dangerous Quakes ...

Scientists found that earthquake damage extends up to 60 miles from major faults, weakening rock and accelerating erosion.

A hidden network of earthquake faults running beneath Seattle may be far more active than scientists realized. New research reveals that smaller “secondary” faults in the Seattle Fault Zone appear to ...

A new study of California's earthquakes say that building pressure underneath two major fault lines converging at Cajon Pass ...

Scientists say Southern California's major fault systems are under the highest stress levels seen in a millennium.

Not all earthquake faults behave the same. Some stick and snap, causing earthquakes. Others move slowly over time. For years, the leading explanation for slow-moving faults has been that high-pressure ...

A landmark geophysical study has revealed that the San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems are carrying unprecedented ...

Earthquake faults deep in Earth can glue themselves back together following a seismic event, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Davis. The work, published in ...
