Seismology

Earthquake engineering expert Keith Porter has said "we don't know when" a destructive event will occur in the region but "it will happen."

Researchers found a greater potential for earthquakes in the central section at least as severe as the fatal 1994 Northridge quake.

GPS monitoring shows uplift of 1.5cm over the last few months, although the underlying cause of the move is unclear.

The discovery could have implications for Earth's magnetic field, a scientist involved in the study has said.

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

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

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."

This amounts to one earthquake hitting the region every three minutes.

A supervolcano is a large volcano that has had an eruption of magnitude 8 or more

"We're concerned that when the next earthquake occurs, there will be a lot of earthquakes."

In 2008, there was only one earthquake big enough to feel. In 2015, there were 903.

Geology experts are keeping a close watch on the situation.

Earthquakes are essentially impossible to predict, and that's still true no matter what the headlines say.

Scientists have developed a new technique to help them find objects that have crashed into the sea.

Current earthquake warning systems can only offer people seconds to take shelter.

Scientists discover a geological structure in the Shumagin Gap similar to the one that produced the deadly Tohoku earthquake.
