Japan’s new earthquake-detection network lengthens warning times, and researchers in Wales have harnessed nuclear blast ...

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world’s most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology presents ...

Just off the coast of the Pacific Northwest is the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a complex collection of earthquake faults created by one tectonic plate pushing its way under another. Every 400-600 years, ...

A new study does the difficult task of trying to piece together the history of the world’s largest subduction zone.

If subduction spreads this way, could the Atlantic Ocean ’s relatively quiet plate margins be next? The massive 1755 Lisbon earthquake hints at early subduction invasion there.

Far beneath the ocean's surface, where mountain belts rise and ancient oceanic crust lies hidden, a long-lost tectonic plate ...

The authors surprisingly found this long-lasting signature in volcanic rocks in the western Pacific, they surmised that material must’ve have spread from Tethys—an ocean that dominated the ...

Slow-motion earthquakes, as you might guess from the name, involve the release of pent-up geological energy over the course ...

Will Japans Baba Vangas earthquake and tsunami prediction come true? Scientists have detected small tremors that are ...
