It’s notorious for its megathrust earthquakes, powerful seismic events that occur where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, releasing colossal quantities of energy. If the Nankai ...

JAKARTA, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia, ranked among top 35 countries for natural disaster risk, is actively preparing for potential megathrust earthquakes that could trigger devastating tsunamis.

The Nankai Trough has a history of producing megathrust earthquakes and is being closely monitored due to the risk it poses. A megaquake, defined as an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 or greater ...

The Earthquake Research Committee said it has ... It concerns what is known as a subduction megathrust quake along the Nankai Trough, an 800-kilometer (500-mile) undersea gully running parallel ...

The Earthquake Research Committee said Thursday ... It concerns what is known as a subduction megathrust quake along the Nankai Trough, an 800-kilometre undersea gully running parallel to Japan ...

The Earthquake Research Committee said it has increased its estimate of the probability to between 75 and 82 percent from between 74 and 81 percent previously. It concerns what is known as a ...

Abstract: The rapid detection and characterization of megathrust earthquakes is a difficult task given their large rupture zone and duration. These events produce very strong ground vibrations in the ...

The 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule earthquake occurred offshore central Chile and ruptured ∼500 km along the megathrust fault resulting from the oceanic Nazca plate subducting beneath the continental South ...
