An earthquake map from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) shows that minor earthquakes hit nine states on Friday morning. California is perhaps the state most known for earthquakes, as the Golden State ...

Modern stressors can still trigger tremors and quakes in dormant faults Earthquakes can be felt further from their epicenter on the East Coast than out west due to the crust being older and more ...

Despite low risk, the UK must consider seismic activity in dam design, driving updates to national hazard maps.

A research team studied earthquake hazard maps from five countries and found that all the maps seemed to overpredict the historically observed earthquake shaking intensities. In analyzing the possible ...
