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

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

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

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

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 ...

DALLAS (SMU) - Scientists from SMU, The University of Texas at Austin and Stanford University found that the majority of faults underlying the Fort Worth Basin are as sensitive to forces that could ...

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 new study suggests stress levels along Southern California's San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems are at their highest point in 1,000 years, placing the region in a "critically loaded state." ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Venezuela and its capital, Caracas, were rocked by two massive earthquake pulses on June 24, 2026, just seconds apart. The ...
