Overview of the Marmara region, with the urban area of the Istanbul metropolis (red contour) and the Main Marmara Fault (red line). The orange circles represent the earthquakes for which directivity ...

In April 2025, the Main Marmara Fault below the Sea of Marmara in north-western Türkiye has experienced its largest earthquake in over 60 years. In a new study now published in Science, a team of ...

It may seem like earthquakes are more frequent. In fact, we've just become better at detecting them. Their number and ...

Tectonic plates are, like most of us, under a lot of stress and are always in motion. But they move slowly, and the exact moment when the stress between them will be released is uncertain. While ...

New research from The University of Texas at Austin could change the way scientists think about potential damage from earthquakes. The study examined data from one of the densest seismic arrays ever ...

Earthquakes are often imagined as originating from a single point where the seismic waves are strongest, the hypocenter underground or the epicenter at the Earth's surface, with seismic energy ...

The Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago located off the coast of northwestern Africa, erupted on Sept. 19. The eruption has caused earthquakes ...

Six months is too short a time to see any definitive trends in earthquake activity, but I enjoy looking for patterns and here are a few things that stand out in 2022. The good news is that no ...

According to physics, seismic waves from earthquakes should travel in a four-leaf clover pattern, but in the real world they behave more like ripples in a pond. New research has found the pattern ...
