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 ...

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

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.

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

Earthquakes are often treated as acts of nature that strike without warning along famous plate boundaries, yet a growing body of evidence shows that human activity can also trigger damaging shaking.

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 ...

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 ...
