Aside from the danger they pose, such earthquakes disrupt the slow, long-term changes occurring at subduction zones. The cycle of sudden earthquakes and slow plate movement makes it difficult for ...

This is the moment an engineer demonstrated models of 'earthquake-resistant buildings' in China. Footage shows three plastic ...

A new kind of earthquake has been detected in western Canada, one that shakes the ground slower and longer than typical ...

In their rapid characterization of the magnitude 6.8 Al Haouz earthquake in Morocco, researchers suggest that the earthquake ruptured roughly 25 kilometers deep beneath the surface.

Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault surfaces to the possibility of earthquake occurrences. Published in the ...

The US Geological Survey creates earthquake shaking models designed to inform municipalities about building codes and insurance companies about the risk of seismic events.

Hundreds of millions of people across the U.S. live in areas prone to damaging earthquakes, a new map from the U.S. Geological Survey shows.

Officially, this is known as the Android Earthquake Alerts System. As is often the case with Android, you may find it in a slightly different spot in Settings depending on the make and model of your ...

These computer models will work in tandem with the results from the Soil Box Project to improve how scientists model the impacts of large earthquakes on high-risk population zones.

The new USGS National Seismic Hazard Model suggests the possibility of more damaging earthquakes than previously thought in areas including Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia; New York; and Boston.

Aon has launched a new earthquake model, one that takes into account risk in western Canada but also the lesser-known risk in eastern Canada.
