A recent Colorado State University study published in the journal Geology demonstrates that climate change can affect the ...
Climate change may influence seismic activity as melting glaciers reduce pressure on quake-prone faults Southern Colorado’s ...
Worldwide, the frequency of earthquakes has remained largely unchanged over many decades of study. On average, there are about 1,500 quakes of a magnitude of 5.0 or higher every year. Of these ...
The findings have significant implications for understanding what drives earthquake activity and for assessing seismic risks.
When the amount of energy an earthquake releases is plotted against the frequency with which those earthquakes occur, a distinctive relationship emerges (see the figures below). This is the ...
San Francisco recorded another powerful earthquake Thursday, adding to an already decent history of similarly strong quakes in the area.
