If you shake a stubborn bottle of catsup hard enough, its contents will loosen up and pour. During an earthquake, the same thing can happen to otherwise solid ground. The process is called ...
Researchers constructed a state-of-the-art model based on seismic data from the January 2020 Caribbean earthquake. The model revealed considerable complexity in rupture speed and direction, related to ...
A Southern California earthquake forecast based on computer models has successfully pinpointed the location of nearly every major temblor to hit the region over the last four years. Using historical ...
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 ...
