Earthquakes

The Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma has been erupting since September 19, with lava flows causing widespread destruction.

Video has emerged documenting the moment a powerful earthquake rocked the Greek island of Crete.

Greek authorities reported that nine people were also injured as a result of the quake, which measured around 6.0 on the Richter scale.

A 4.0 magnitude aftershock was recorded 15 minutes after the initial quake, which struck the Australian state of Victoria.

No injuries have been reported, but the tremors were felt far from the earthquake's epicenter.

The eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano came after seismologists recorded more than 25,000 earthquakes in the area over the previous nine days.

Scientists detected more than 1,000 earthquakes during the month, including a swarm of at least 764 below Yellowstone Lake.

An ongoing effusive eruption has been taking place at the volcano on the Caribbean island since December, 2020.

Kīlauea is the youngest and most active volcano on the Island of Hawai'i.

Whether or not the "Resurrection plate" ever existed has long been a hot topic of debate in the field of geology.

Amazed eyewitnesses managed to capture footage of the fireball as it blazed through the Earth's atmosphere.

A swarm of moderately sized earthquakes has hit California near the San Andreas fault, increasing the likelihood that a bigger earthquake could strike within the next seven days.

The National Weather Service issued tsunami Warnings and Advisories for much of the southern Alaskan coast and the Aleutian Islands but these have since been cancelled.

The scientists were able to detect the structure by analyzing seismic wave data.

"It seems clear that something is brewing underneath the heart of northwest Europe," said researcher Corné Kreemer.

With a third of the population now under lockdown, the subsequent drop in industry and transport appears to have led to a drop in the planet's "seismic noise."

The quakes occurred along the Mendocino Fracture Zone at the junction between the San Andreas Fault and Cascadia Subduction Zone.

The small earthquakes were recorded by the USGS near Greenback and Sweetwater.

Local residents took to social media to report light shaking felt across the region, but no injuries or damage were reported.

The quake is the latest in a series of tremors that have struck the region in recent months.

Controversial research suggests these two huge tectonic regions are linked.

The tremor caused several buildings to collapse, burying people in the wreckage.

A report from England's Oil and Gas Authority has caused the government to call for a halt to fracking in the country on the basis of new earthquake fears.

"The Garlock Fault has been quiet for a long time. But there's geologic evidence that there have been large earthquakes on it," the lead author of a new study said.

Mild shakes were felt across parts of the Los Angeles area following another earthquake in California in the early hours this morning.

The newly identified natural phenomenon is the result of powerful storms transferring some of the vast amounts of energy that they produce into the Earth's crust.

"We often hear about the potential for large volcanic eruptions of the Yellowstone volcano. However, we rarely focus on the threat of large earthquakes in the region," researcher Jamie Farrell said.

NASA officials have said that the plane was flying as part of a mission to study the effects of fire smoke on air quality.

Earth is not the only place that experiences quakes.

In 1994, a huge 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck Bolivia. Scientists now use data from this quake to provide fascinating insights into Earth's interior.
