What's clear from the study is that while California's next "Big One" may share some characteristics of previously documented ...

Scientists link a magnitude 6.5 earthquake that shook Humboldt Bay, California, 71 years ago to the "locked" Cascadia ...

When a magnitude 7. 7 earthquake shook Myanmar on March 28, 2025, it wasn’t just another powerful tremor—it was a geological ...

The massive 2025 Myanmar earthquake revealed that strike slip faults can behave in surprising ways. Using satellite data, ...

Myanmar's Sagaing Fault ruptured more than 124 miles (200 km) farther than seismologists had predicted. California should take notice.

The San Andreas Fault is about 746 miles (1,200 km) long and about 10 miles (16 km) deep. While the San Andreas is a giant fault that is even visible from space, if you zoom in, you'll see a ...

Simulations still can't predict exactly when an earthquake will happen, but with the incredible processing power of modern ...

A new study from CalTech sheds light on the behavior of the Sagaing Fault, which is very similar to the San Andreas Fault.

The USGS reported a small earthquake in Woodside on Tuesday afternoon. The temblor measured 2.5 on the Richter Scale.

As such, recent predictions limit the possible maximum earthquake magnitude along the San Andreas fault system to 8.0, although with a 7 percent probability estimate that such an event could occur ...

1838, northern San Andreas fault, magnitude 7.4: Damage was reported from San Francisco to Santa Clara; the fault likely ruptured from Woodside on the peninsula south of San Francisco to Watsonville.
