Is Mt St Helens about to blow? Washington state volcano is recharging
Mount St. Helens is experiencing increased earthquake activity since February 2024, raising concerns about another potential eruption.
Unlikely US state is rattled by three earthquakes in as many days
New Jersey experienced three aftershocks within days following a larger earthquake, raising concerns over seismic activity in the region.
In New York City, earthquakes are generally tiny, and unnoticed.
New York City has experienced earthquakes of various magnitudes, some with historical significance like the 1884 Coney Island earthquake.
The recent 4.8 magnitude earthquake in New Jersey served as a reminder of the fault lines in the area, leading to questions about the safety of tall buildings.
Magnitude 3 earthquake strikes Malibu, the latest to rattle the area
There has been a significant increase in minor earthquake activity near Malibu, but this doesn't imply an imminent major earthquake.
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.

Scientists Intrigued by Detection of 650-Foot Mega-Tsunami
A unprecedented mega-tsunami in Greenland caused global seismic vibrations lasting nine days, reflecting climate change's significant impact on ocean dynamics.
Entire Earth vibrated for nine days after climate-triggered mega-tsunami
The landslide and mega-tsunami in Greenland exemplify the severe impacts of climate change on geological stability and global systems.
The event underscores the unpredictable nature of climate-related disasters, even in seemingly stable regions.
Cause of 650-foot mega-tsunami shook Earth for 9 days discovered
Climate change is leading to destabilization of glaciers, causing dangerous landslides and potential tsunamis.

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.
Seismic data shows Mars is often pummeled by planet-shaking meteorites
Marsquakes caused by meteorite impacts are a new class of quakes on Mars, detected by InSight lander's SEIS seismometer.
Mars is pounded by hundreds of meteorites every year
Mars is hit by meteorites 300 times a year, evidenced through seismic activity, with seismometers providing more accurate data than visual crater confirmations.
