Every year, the Earth shakes thousands of times. Most of those tremors go unnoticed, felt only by sensitive instruments buried deep in the ground. Occasionally, though, one of them tears apart cities, ...
Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault surfaces to the possibility of earthquake occurrences. Published in the ...
Simulated seismic intensity patterns for the 5 September 2022 Mw 6.6 Luding earthquake in southwest China, calculated from peak ground velocity in the 0.02–0.5 Hz frequency range. Although the same ...
While analyzing strong-motion data close to fault lines, a group of researchers at Kyoto University noticed something ...
On Jan. 1, 2024, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to shifting tectonic plates. The ...
