Crustal brines at an oceanic transform fault: New research explores geological processes along plate boundaries
In an article published in Science Advances, a collaborative team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) presents a never-before-seen image of an oceanic transform fault from ...
A new 3D subsurface model shows how variations in rock strength beneath the Marmara Sea could trigger future large earthquakes along the North Anatolian Fault. The findings improve understanding of ...
When we think of earthquakes, we imagine sudden, violent shaking. But deep beneath the Earth's surface, some faults move in near silence. These slow, shuffling slips and their accompanying hum -- ...

'Sleeping giant' fault beneath Canada could unleash a major earthquake, research suggests
A major fault in the Yukon, Canada, that has been quiet for at least 12,000 years may be capable of giving off earthquakes of at least magnitude 7.5, new research suggests. Based on the amount of ...
