San Andreas Fault and the smaller San Jacinto Fault are now "critically stressed" – reaching a 1,000-year high level of ...

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

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

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

A rare pair of powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela just a minute apart — killing at least 920 people — is raising new ...

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 ...

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 ...

Venezuela’s pair of earthquakes is considered doublet sequence. It’s not rare to have two quakes in short succession, but in ...

It appears the two big earthquakes in Venezuela that occurred in rapid succession may have involved two separate fault lines.

Scientists discovered that deep earthquake faults can heal far faster than expected, sometimes within hours. Slow slip events in Cascadia reveal repeated fault movements that only make sense if the ...

Venezuela was hit by back-to-back earthquakes on Thursday with a magnitude of above 7.0, drawing comparisons to the massive ...

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 ...
