Groundbreaking: ‘Controlled’ quakes triggered under Swiss Alps
4+ mon, 3+ day ago (843+ words) Researchers have made the ground shake in southern Switzerland, triggering thousands of tiny earthquakes in a monitored setting, as they seek to discover seismicity insights that could reduce risks. “It was a success!” said Domenico Giardini, one of the lead…...
Why scientists triggered 8,000 earthquakes below Swiss Alps
4+ mon, 2+ day ago (22+ words) Scientists triggered 8,000 small earthquakes in Switzerland’s BedrettoLab to study how seismic pressure builds and how deep earthquakes begin underground....
'Impossible' mantle earthquakes actually occur all over the world, study finds
7+ mon, 36+ min ago (379+ words) Researchers were once unsure whether mantle earthquakes existed. Now they have a global map of this mysterious phenomenon. Earthquakes that jiggle Earth's middle layer may be more widespread than scientists thought. "We believe this firmly demonstrates that there are earthquakes…...
Caboolture earthquake faultline shaped the region
4+ mon, 3+ week ago (301+ words) Stay up to date with news you need to know direct from the source. An ancient earthquake along a fault line west of Caboolture shaped the region thousands of years ago, researchers have found. City of Moreton Bay Mayor Peter…...
How Human-Induced Seismicity Triggers 'Impossible' Earthquakes in Stable Continental Regions
4+ mon, 3+ week ago (747+ words) Earthquakes rattling stable continental regions catch experts off guard because these areas sit far from shifting tectonic plates. Healed faults combined with human-induced seismicity explain these puzzling shakes, as recent Utrecht University research reveals. Traditional seismic maps overlook such risks…...
Watch the Earth split in real time: Stunning footage captures a 2.5-meter fault slip in seconds
5+ mon, 2+ week ago (495+ words) During midday Friday prayers on March 28, 2025, a powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake hit central Myanmar along the Sagaing Fault. The epicenter was located near Mandalay, the country's second-largest city. It was the strongest earthquake to strike Myanmar in more than a century…...
Rock bonding changes understanding of earthquakes mechanics
5+ mon, 4+ day ago (656+ words) Deep within the Earth’s crust, massive tectonic plates shift. But what happens at the microscopic level? Physicists from Forschungszentrum Jülich and Saarland University have proposed a new explanation: The rock grains do not simply interlock – they bond together at their…...
