Researchers from a renowned U.S. university captured a slow slip earthquake in motion. It was captured during the act of releasing tectonic pressure on a major fault zone at the bottom of the ocean. A ...

Slow-motion earthquakes, as you might guess from the name, involve the release of pent-up geological energy over the course of days or weeks rather than minutes – and scientists have now recorded some ...

SAN FRANCISCO — The magnitude-7.8 Kaikoura earthquake that rattled New Zealand last month may have set up the country for another major quake underneath its capital of Wellington. In the next year, ...

Natural fracking may be to blame for weird "slow" earthquakes that last for hours to days, a new study suggests. Oil and gas fracking involves cracking open rocks using water laced with sand and ...

At a glacier near the South Pole, earth scientists have found evidence of a quiet, slow-motion fault slip that triggers strong, fast-slip earthquakes many miles away. At a glacier near the South Pole, ...

The performance of mobile phone cameras and solar cells could be boosted by "nano-earthquakes," researchers have found. The performance of mobile phone cameras and solar cells could be boosted by ...

Beneath the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of New Zealand, lies a sea's worth of water, locked within the Earth's crust. Researchers believe that this sunken reservoir may play an important role in ...

Ithaca, N.Y. - At a glacier near the South Pole, earth scientists have found evidence of a quiet, slow-motion fault slip that triggers strong, fast-slip earthquakes many miles away, according to ...
