OSU researchers find Cascadia Subduction Zone and San Andreas Fault may be synchronized — with the potential for quakes on ...

NORFOLK, Va. — Fault lines are fractures or breaks in the Earth's crust where tectonic plates move past each other, often resulting in earthquakes. These geological features are classified into three ...

Earthquakes have long been associated with fault lines, jagged edges where tectonic plates meet and collide. Several studies explain how these seismic activities are not limited to these boundaries.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The Tintina fault is thought to have been inactive for more than 40 million years, but new research suggests that earthquakes occurred in the zone ...

Major faults like the San Andreas strike fear of producing devastating earthquakes. But scientists have found that little-known 'branch' faults, minor faults that stem from larger ones, could release ...

This discovery could really shake up the Big Apple. New York City was rattled harder than some surrounding areas during last April’s northeast earthquake because of a dangerous, newly discovered fault ...

A megaquake in the Pacific Northwest could trigger a large earthquake along California's San Andreas Fault, creating an unprecedented catastrophe up and down the Pacific Coast, new research shows.

There's a sleeping fault line that runs along the border between Canada and Alaska. The line has been dormant for millions of years as best scientists can tell. But new research suggests it could be ...
