When a slab slides beneath an overriding plate in a subduction zone, the slab takes on a property called anisotropy, meaning its strength is not the same in all directions. Anisotropy is what causes a ...
Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault surfaces to the possibility of earthquake occurrences. Published in the ...

Oregon’s 37% Cascadia figure is a model of southern-zone earthquake risk
Oregon emergency officials cite about a 37% chance of a Cascadia megathrust earthquake of magnitude 7.1 or greater in the fault zone over the next 50 years. The number is a long-term scientific risk ...
On Jan. 1, 2024, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to shifting tectonic plates. The ...
Newswise — RICHLAND, Wash.—There’s been a seismic shift in science, with scientists developing new AI tools and applying AI to just about any question that can be asked. Researchers are now putting ...
Researchers say stress on Southern California’s San Andreas and San Jacinto faults has reached some of the highest levels seen in a 1,000-year simulation. Because both faults are highly stressed at ...
A catastrophic megathrust earthquake in the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone represents one of the most severe natural hazard threats to the Pacific Rim. New scientific modeling and simulated video ...
The study of earthquake remains a main interest worldwide as it is one of the least predictable natural disasters. In a new review published in the KeAi journal Artificial Intelligence in Geosciences, ...

Earthquakes usually occur along fracture zones in Earth's crust, where large tectonic plates slide past one another and become locked. Stress builds up over long periods and is suddenly released in ...
Tidal stresses are comparable to a slight push from a hand, but with the right timing, they can be enough to get a fault ...
