How an Oklahoma earthquake showed danger remains after years of quakes becoming less frequent

The injection of wastewater from oil and gas extraction is believed to activate ancient faults deep within the earth's crust, causing earthquakes in Oklahoma.
After implementing restrictions on wastewater disposal, the number of earthquakes in the state began to decline dramatically.

Dozens of quakes rattle California, including 4.8-magnitude temblor, experts say

A swarm of earthquakes ranging from 1.0 to 4.8 magnitude hit El Centro, Southern California overnight.
More than 800 people reported feeling the tremors from as far as Los Angeles and Parker, Arizona.

Mid-ocean ridge unfaulting revealed by magmatic intrusions - Nature

Mid-ocean ridges experience tectonic shortening on the flanks contrary to the extension at the ridge axis.
Reverse-faulting earthquakes occur due to shallow compression of ridge flanks and intrusion of magma-filled fractures along the ridge axis.

Earth's moon is shrinking. Here's what scientists say that could mean

The lunar south pole, which is being targeted for exploration by multiple countries, may be prone to moonquakes and landslides, posing a threat to potential human settlers and equipment.
The moon's core is gradually cooling and shrinking, causing the surface to develop creases and leading to seismic activity.
