A groundbreaking study reveals that the long-dormant Tintina fault in Canada's Yukon Territory shows signs of seismic activity, suggesting a potential future earthquake threat. Researchers have identified evidence of past earthquakes that could mean the fault is still active.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has lifted the tsunami threat for Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula following five significant earthquakes, including a 7.4 magnitude quake. Residents are safe, but the region experienced several aftershocks.
A stunning video from Myanmar captures the unique curvature of ground cracks during a major earthquake, revealing new insights into seismic activity and fault dynamics.
A powerful 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck Alaska's southern coast, prompting evacuation orders. Fortunately, tsunami warnings were downgraded, and no significant damage has been reported.
Scientists are closely monitoring the Iliamna Volcano in Alaska, which, after over a century of inactivity, is showing signs of rumbling. While it could signal an impending eruption, experts warn it might also indicate a massive avalanche. Find out more about this fascinating geological phenomenon!
A powerful 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck Bogota, causing panic as residents rushed to evacuate. Initial reports indicate no injuries, but minor damage and power outages have been reported.
Scientists warn that the Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano off the Pacific Northwest, may erupt soon. However, residents need not worry, as it poses no danger to them. This volcano's activity could offer valuable insights into volcanic behavior and hazards.
An underwater volcano 300 miles off the Oregon coast, Axial Seamount, shows signs of a potential eruption. Researchers note significant magma buildup and increased seismic activity, stirring excitement and curiosity about oceanic volcanic activity.
A 5.2-magnitude earthquake shook Southern California on Monday, causing minor disruptions but no major damage or injuries. Wildlife, including elephants, displayed remarkable behavior during the quake. Read more!
