Mount Denali, North America's highest mountain, is a beautiful sight. While beautiful, though, scientists have long wondered exactly how this mountain came to be. Now, new research has finally ...

The East Anatolian fault, site of a deadly February 2023 earthquake, formed 5 million years ago thanks to the squeeze of the Eurasian and Arabian plates, new research finds. The creation of the fault ...

For years, textbooks taught that shallow faults—cracks in the Earth’s upper crust—were too stable to cause earthquakes. Once ...

The 4.8-magnitude earthquake on the East Coast Friday came from ancient dormant faults. The faults formed when two continents collided about 500 million years ago, creating the Appalachians and ...

New findings begin to fill major gaps in understanding about how geological faults behave and appear as they deepen, and they could eventually help lead future researchers to develop better earthquake ...

An international team led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has, for the first time, accurately determined the age and formation process of the East Anatolian fault, which runs from eastern ...

Researchers unveiled a physical model that yields an unprecedented, high-resolution look at the slip rates of faults, which determine the likelihood of earthquakes. In a new paper recently published ...

The Earth's crust may have something in common with a lot of people: It tends to be lazy, at least when it comes to moving along certain types of seismic faults, new research says. Using a special ...
