  1. Earthquake Research Advances

    The aim of Earthquake Research Advances is to advance our understanding of earthquake physics, expand our ability to observe earthquake-related phenomenon and improve our mitigation of seismic hazards. To fulfill this,the journal publishes original research articles that focus on all aspects of …. View full aims & scope.

  2. Warning signs detected hours ahead of big earthquakes

    Many question whether such a precursor signal even exists. Now, researchers say they have identified nearly imperceptible shifts along fault zones up to 2 hours before large earthquakes, according to a report today in Science. Although existing monitoring systems cannot yet pick up this signal in real time, the discovery points toward a future ...

  5. Illustrating the impact of earthquakes: Evidence-based and user

    1. Introduction. Even though earthquakes cannot be precisely predicted, their potential consequences must not come as a surprise. In the last decades, seismic hazard and risk assessments have considerably improved [1] allowing to estimate the impact of earthquakes either in advance in terms of stochastic scenarios or shortly after the shaking in the form of rapid impact assessment.

    The research team, which also includes Brown graduate student Jaeseok Lee and Brown geophysicist Greg Hirth, offer a more detailed example to illustrate how earthquakes happen.

  9. Can LST Help Predict Earthquakes?

    The researchers compared the trends in land surface temperature and earthquake magnitude and found a clear correlation. When land surface temperature increased, so did energy released in earthquakes; when it decreased, earthquake energy also declined. This research is preliminary, but has the potential to influence hazard management in the region.

    Hazards, social vulnerability and community capabilities. Mitchell et al. (Citation 2008) suggest that students' understanding of hazards is best fostered when using a teaching approach where natural and social processes are equally considered.Investigating earthquakes from a geographical lens, in this case through the geographical concept of interaction, directs teaching to an exploration ...

    The earthquake preparedness of the participants was low. The household preparedness score was 7.5 out of 25. In other words, the average earthquake preparedness of households was approximately 30%. Besides, the self-efficacy score was 60.79 ± 0.55 and the score of cues to action was 66.57 ± 0.45 (Table 2 ).

  12. Could the Muswellbrook earthquakes be caused by coal mining

    Earthquake clusters are not uncommon in Australia. Between 1886 and 1949, four moderate earthquakes between magnitude 5.3 and 5.6 happened at Dalton-Gunning, NSW, as part of a lengthy seismic ...

    Read the latest news and articles about earthquakes. Earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics, or shifting plates in the crust of Earth.

  14. Earthquakes

    Basics. Most earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of built-up stress along faults, fractures in the Earth's crust where large blocks of crustal rock move against one another. An earthquake's size can be measured by the amount of energy released by that movement. While scientists can't predict earthquakes, they are developing ...

  15. A Comparative Study of the Effects of Earthquakes in Different

    Data from past earthquakes is an important tool to reveal the impact of future earthquakes on engineering structures, especially in earthquake-prone regions. These data are important indicators for revealing the seismic loading effects that structures will be exposed to in future earthquakes. Five different earthquakes from six countries with high seismic risk were selected and were within the ...

  17. Earthquake scientists are learning warning signs of the 'big one.' When

    On Jan. 26, 1700, an earthquake on the Cascadia fault caused the forest to lurch downward by more than 3 feet. Soon after, a tsunami perhaps 100 feet high barreled through at 20 or 30 mph.

  24. Why do earthquakes occur in the middle of the continent far from plate

    Most earthquakes occur near tectonic plate boundaries, where the Earth's crust is composed of large fragments that interact with one another. These interactions can involve plates sliding past each other, colliding, or moving apart. However, a map of the U.S. shows that earthquakes also take place in the interior regions of the continent, though less frequently than those along the edges.

    earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter. Sometimes an earthquake has foreshocks. These are smaller earthquakes that happen in the same place as the larger earthquake that follows. Scientists can't tell that an earthquake is a foreshock until the larger
