A new algorithm correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week before they happened during a seven-month trial in China.
Quakes could be the source of the mysteriously smooth terrain on the moons circling Jupiter and Saturn, according to a new study.
Safer infrastructure could help prevent catastrophic destruction like that in the Syrian and Turkey earthquakes, argues Rachel Abercrombie.
New research could eventually lead to better earthquake models on strike-slip faults, regions with frequent and major earthquakes.
Researchers may have a way to forecast hard-to-predict events like earthquakes and pandemics with less data.
Mars has generally been considered geologically dead. But marsquakes indicate volcanic activity still plays a role in shaping its surface.
Examining the collapse of the erupting volcano Kīlauea's caldera allowed researchers to confirm current ideas about friction's role at earthquake faults.
Seismologists used data from NASA's InSight Lander to get measurements deep within Mars. What they learned might clarify planetary formation.
"This quiet period is the longest and most prominent global anthropogenic seismic noise reduction on record."
"We found that in regions where weaker rocks are present, earthquakes may rupture faults under low friction."
