More than two years after an earthquake rattled the Garden State, a group of researchers are continuing to unravel its unusual nature, officially naming a previously unmapped fault where the quake ...

Learn how faults beneath the Earth's surface can heal themselves after slowly releasing stress from the movement of tectonic plates. After faults deep in the Earth get shaken up from a ...

Earthquake faults deep in Earth can glue themselves back together following a seismic event, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Davis. The work, published in ...

An earthquake typically sets off ruptures that ripple out from its underground origins. But on rare occasions, seismologists have observed quakes that reverse course, further shaking up areas that ...

The risk of a major earthquake along a U.S. fault line has increased, according to a new study. KABC reports the U.S. Geological Survey released new data showing an earthquake with a 6.7-or-greater ...

Hundreds of earthquakes rattled California over the weekend. Here's what experts say about the activity and the risk of the next 'Big One.' ...
