The San Andreas fault line in California may be capable of producing much larger earthquakes than previously believed. The findings were published in the journal Geology, and found that earlier ...

Researchers say ubiquitous evidence for ongoing geological carbon sequestration in mantle rocks in the creeping sections of the San Andreas Fault is one underlying cause of aseismic creep along a ...

The San Jacinto Fault, considered part of the San Andreas Fault system, has a 5% chance of magnitude 6.7 or larger earthquakes. The line begins at Cajun Pass and runs southeast through San Bernardino, ...

OAKLAND, Calif. - There hasn't been a major earthquake along the San Andreas Fault for years. Scientists are now saying an earthquake at the center of that fault line could be more severe than ...

When a magnitude 7.7 earthquake shook Myanmar on March 28, 2025, it wasn’t just another powerful tremor—it was a geological curveball. The quake ripped open more than 500 kilometers (317 miles) of the ...
