Chances are, you still believe this outdated earthquake-safety advice. Here's what you should do instead when the shaking starts.

In late January, something began to stir beneath the idyllic Greek islands of Santorini, Amorgos, and Anafi. These Aegean islands experienced a rapid-fire sequence of over 28,000 earthquakes, ...

Most earthquake energy turns into heat rather than ground shaking, sometimes hot enough to melt rock in microseconds. MIT’s lab quakes reveal this hidden balance and its role in seismic risk.

Arroyo, now a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his colleagues created itty-bitty lab earthquakes by pressing centimeter-sized wafers of a powdered granite and ...

Up to 98 percent of the energy of an earthquake goes into flash heating rocks, not shaking the ground, new research shows. The finding could help yield better earthquake forecasts ...

In the fields of geophysics and seismology, understanding the mechanisms that trigger earthquakes is crucial for predicting and minimizing their impacts.

Devils Hole, located in the Death Valley National Park, Nevada, is home to the tiny and endangered pupfish. According to Fox 5, researchers have discovered that earthquakes around the world are ...

Scientists were able to use the data from a fiber optic cable and a sensitive measuring device to “image” the Mendocino earthquake – determining the magnitude, location and length of the rupture.

Back in March, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake revealed an ancient structure in Tada-U Township, Myanmar. According to a translated report from the Department of Archaeology and National Museum, some ...
