The Hidden Architecture of Earth's Interior Earth's structure resembles a giant onion with distinct layers, each playing a ...

Supercomputing is bringing seismic change to earthquake science. A field that historically has predicted by looking back now is moving forward with HPC and physics-based models to comprehensively ...

Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have come a step closer to deciphering some of the basic mysteries and mechanisms behind earthquakes and how average-sized earthquakes ...

Along some fault lines, which are the boundaries of tectonic plates, a fine-grained gravel is formed as the plates grind against one another. The influence of this gravel on earthquakes has long been ...

An earthquake is a complicated process but knowing about it can save your life. The Earth averages about 55 earthquakes each day. But what exactly is an earthquake? Find out more about this geological ...

Earthquakes and imaged magmatic dike intrusion. Dots show machine-learning relocated earthquakes from 1 January to 28 February 2025 color-coded according to occurrence time (OTime). Orange patches ...

In a 'seismological wind tunnel,' engineers demonstrate the impact of rock gouge -- ground-up rock along a fault boundary -- on earthquake propogation. By simulating earthquakes in a lab, Caltech ...
