The San Andreas fault just reached a level scientists haven’t seen in 1,000 years—Is California ready for what comes next?

A new study suggests the San Andreas Fault has reached stress levels not seen in nearly 1,000 years. While scientists are not predicting an imminent earthquake, the findings raise important questions about California’s seismic risk, infrastructure resilience, and long-term preparedness.

Mysterious deep earthquakes beneath Utah and Wyoming are puzzling scientists

For most people, earthquakes are something that happens relatively close to the Earth's surface. They break through the crust, shake towns and cities, and leave behind faults that geologists can map. The deeper parts of the planet are generally thought to behave differently. Under the intense pressures and temperatures found…

500 hidden earthquakes beneath Antarctica, and the strangest ones are shaking the middle of a tectonic plate where deep quakes were not supposed to happen

Antarctica, once thought to be seismically quiet, is now revealing hidden earthquakes. Advanced AI has analyzed old data, finding over 500 tremors deep beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. These quakes, occurring unexpectedly, are too small to cause damage but highlight how much remains unknown about our planet's seismic activity.…

Earthquakes can be destructive for distant cities built on top of basins – now we know why

Sedimentary basins – depressions in Earth’s crust caused by tectonic activity – tend to be flat and are favoured places to build cities. But during earthquakes, they can become natural resonance chambers.

In 1812, a powerful earthquake made the Mississippi River flow backwards and created a lake that still exists today

Rivers are often treated as fixed features of the landscape. They bend, flood, and shift over long stretches of time, but they seem permanent enough that entire towns and economies are built around them. The Mississippi River, in particular, has long been regarded as one of North America's defining geographical…

How the Great Pyramid of Giza has survived 4,500 years of Egyptian earthquakes

The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt has survived more than 4,500 years. Earthquakes have repeatedly shaken the region, including the magnitude 5.8 Cairo earthquake in 1992, which dislodged some of the pyramid’s outer casing stones. Yet the main body remained essentially intact.

This underwater fault near Ecuador has baffled scientists for decades. They just cracked it

Scientists have identified natural "brakes" within the Gofar transform fault, located deep beneath the eastern Pacific Ocean. These "barrier zones," characterized by complex fault geometry and trapped seawater, repeatedly stop magnitude 6 earthquakes from growing larger. This discovery offers crucial insights into earthquake limits on transform faults globally.
