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

Imagine waking up one morning and finding the ocean rushing toward your neighborhood. According to scientists, that ...

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, ...

Tsunami earthquakes are characterized by the generation of disproportionately large tsunamis relative to the observed ground shaking, complicating timely evacuation efforts. Understanding their ...

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

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

Scientists have uncovered a rare slow-motion earthquake in Japan’s most tsunami-prone fault zone.

A study reveals that the oldest continental crust on Earth is slowly being broken up by shifting tectonic forces.

Now a new study suggests that hundreds of millions of years ago, a process known as subduction “invasion” or “infection,” might've kickstarted the eastern Ring of Fire by causing ...

“This paper proposes that Permian initiation of Paleo-Pacific Plate subduction along the East Asian margin was linked to the closure of ~east-west–trending oceans during the assembly of the Asian ...

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 ...
