Locked Fault Patches and Low b-Values Point to Strong Earthquake Hotspots
1+ day, 15+ hour ago (664+ words) Beneath the arid expanses of north-central China, the faults that bound the western edge of the Ordos block are quietly accumulating the stress that has repeatedly unleashed destructive earthquakes across centuries. A new study published in Earth and Planetary Physics,…...
Tanzania’s Ol Doinyo Lengai is the only active volcano known to erupt natrocarbonatite, the coolest lava on Earth: it flows at roughly 500–590°C, against 1,100°C or more for Hawaiian basalt. Fresh flows look black or dark brown in daylight, then react with rain and atmospheric moisture until the mountainside turns chalk-white—as though someone spilled milk over the lava.

Reducing earthquakes caused by fracking – Sciworthy
3+ day, 22+ hour ago (172+ words) The team used the model to compare how a site like this would respond to the instant shut-in method versus the other shut-in methods. They found that the tapered shut-in method increased pressure and stress in the rock, while the…...

4+ day, 1+ hour ago (373+ words) Temperatures reaching 85 degrees Celsius (185 Fahrenheit) have been measured at gas vents inside the crater of Mount Tendurek, one of Türkiye's active volcanic areas, where explorers documented continuing gas, steam and sulfur emissions. Archaeologist, traveler and nature enthusiast Onur Benli and…...
Scientists can now map where massive earthquakes may strike
4+ day, 18+ hour ago (337+ words) The approach does not predict when an earthquake will happen. Instead, it uses satellite-based measurements of tiny movements in the ground to identify sections of major faults that are locked in place and gradually storing energy. Researchers tested the method…...
