New research suggests the source of morphologic variation on mid-ocean ridges might be deeper than scientists thought.
Nearly two centuries later, scientists from the American Geophysical Union think the central and eastern United States may still be experiencing aftershocks from those events
New findings show that underwater mountains may increase friction along subduction zones, building up stress and making larger ruptures more likely.
Recognising aftershocks is an important part of assessing a region’s disaster risk
Conventional seismology tells us that aftershocks occur only hours, days, or weeks after a main earthquake. Click to read more.
