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.
