A new physics-based model suggests Southern California’s Cajon Pass fault junction is critically stressed and could influence whether a future major earthquake spreads across two fault systems. Credit ...

New research finds the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults in Southern California are more stressed now than at any time in 1,000 years, raising long-term earthquake risk for millions. Scientists ...

The ground north and east of Los Angeles holds one of Southern California’s most uneasy meeting points. At Cajon Pass, the San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems crowd together in a tectonic ...

The Hayward fault line has not had a major earthquake since 1868, but new simulations designed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have found the Bay ...

In the Pacific Northwest, big faults like the Cascadian subduction zone located offshore, get a lot of attention. But big faults aren't the only ones that pose significant hazards, and a new study ...

A video of an electrical fire engulfing a Christmas tree at a shopping centre in China's southwestern Sichuan province has been misrepresented online as Muslims committing arson in Britain during the ...

Drop. Cover. Hold on. That’s the three-part jingle every Californian learns to stay safe in earthquake country. Scientists forecast a more than 99% chance that earthquakes of 6.7 magnitude or larger ...

All Her Fault contains two dramas. One—melodramatic, Hitchcockian at its best, Lifetime-hacky at its worst—follows all the most generic beats of the airport thriller, starting when Marissa (played by ...

Scientists discovered that deep earthquake faults can heal far faster than expected, sometimes within hours. Slow slip events in Cascadia reveal repeated fault movements that only make sense if the ...
