Sep. 12, 2023 — Fires that raged in the days following the 1 September 1923 magnitude 7.9 Kant earthquake killed roughly 90% of the 105,000 people who perished in and around Tokyo, making it one of the deadliest ...
Apr. 19, 2021 — Ebel looked for the California faults that had magnitude 4 or larger earthquakes occurring at a rate higher than 0.5 earthquakes per year from 1997 to 2016. If the pattern holds, the next magnitude ...
Mar. 22, 2021 — Using a newly developed flexible, finite-fault inversion framework based on seismic P waves, a new study confirms that the magnitude 7.9 Gulf of Alaska earthquake of January 23, 2018 involved the ...
Feb. 16, 2021 — At a glacier near the South Pole, earth scientists have found evidence of a quiet, slow-motion fault slip that triggers strong, fast-slip earthquakes many miles ...
Sep. 23, 2022 — Scientists who drilled deeper into an undersea earthquake fault than ever before have found that the tectonic stress in Japan's Nankai subduction zone is less than expected. The findings are a ...
Dec. 9, 2021 — A large earthquake off the coast of south-central Chile in 1737 may have caused a substantial tsunami that was absent from historical records. Historical records are used to predict how often ...
June 26, 2023 — Researchers analyzed the source processes of the twin earthquakes that caused extensive damage in Türkiye and Syria on February 6, 2023. The results revealed that a complex fault network with bends, ...
Nov. 30, 2022 — Satellite observations have revealed that weak seismic ground shaking can trigger powerful landslide acceleration -- even several years after a significant ...
Dec. 8, 2022 — Evidence that a complete stress release may have contributed to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake that broke records. Both sedimentary formations above and below the plate boundary fault lie in the stress ...
Oct. 25, 2022 — New research has found that the difference between the daily high temperature and the daily low temperature -- known as the diurnal temperature range -- will continue to shrink in parts of the world ...
