An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 struck off the northeastern coast of Japan on Monday, as authorities urged residents to ...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) released a report projecting potential induced seismicity (man-caused earthquakes) across the United States in 2017 and found the number of people living in an area ...

A cluster of small earthquakes shook the Coastal Bend on Wednesday, with most activity centered northwest of Corpus Christi, ...

Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction, often described as the phenomena of seismic generation of excess porewater pressures and consequent softening of granular soils, is a leading cause of earthquake ...

Global distribution of natural and induced seismicity. Natural earthquakes with moment magnitude higher than 5 are color-coded according to their hypocenter depth (upper right colorbar, U.S.

In 2023, Texas and California were nearly tied for the number of magnitude 3 and larger earthquakes, which is honestly kind of wild when you think about it. Texas isn't supposed to be earthquake ...

Seismicity decreases with depth because elevated confining pressure prevents frictional sliding of faults. However, ...

Earthquakes in the American state of Utah, the Soultz-sous-Forêts region of France or in the Dutch province of Groningen should not be able to occur even if the subsurface has been exploited for ...
