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 ...

Lori Dengler is looking for your stories of unique observations around quakes. "I’ve heard of strange smells before, during, or after quakes, headaches, wells suddenly going dry or overflowing, and ...

A rare, ultra-long earthquake in Myanmar revealed that mature faults can deliver their full force directly to the surface.

A rare earthquake in Myanmar revealed how a long, mature fault can transmit energy directly to the surface. The discovery may change how scientists evaluate the danger posed by major faults around the ...

An international team of researchers led by The University of New Mexico set out to understand how these mature faults break during massive seismic events, focusing on a long-debated phenomenon known ...

AMHERST, Mass. – Geoscientist Michele Cooke and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Amherst take an uncommon, "Earth is lazy" approach to modeling fault development in the crust that is ...

What is ground-fault protection? The answer depends on whether you are talking about ground-fault protection of equipment or ground-fault protection of people. Just because ground-fault protection is ...

A recent study has revealed extensive data on how strike-slip faults develop over time and eventually cause earthquakes at the Earth's surface. Researchers coined the movement of two plates in a ...

Ground fault protection is a cornerstone in ensuring the safety and operational reliability of modern power systems. Ground faults, which occur when an unintended electrical path connects a live ...
