What's clear from the study is that while California's next "Big One" may share some characteristics of previously documented ...

A study of March's Myanmar earthquake has found that strike-slip faults don't necessarily repeat past behavior, meaning the ...

The last big earthquake triggered by the notorious fault was in 1857. Now, it is set to rupture again with record-breaking intensity.

When a magnitude 7. 7 earthquake shook Myanmar on March 28, 2025, it wasn’t just another powerful tremor—it was a geological ...

Myanmar's Sagaing Fault ruptured more than 124 miles (200 km) farther than seismologists had predicted. California should take notice.

The massive 2025 Myanmar earthquake revealed that strike slip faults can behave in surprising ways. Using satellite data, ...

A new study from CalTech sheds light on the behavior of the Sagaing Fault, which is very similar to the San Andreas Fault.

Experts have issued an urgent warning regarding a supposed upcoming earthquake known as 'The Big One'. Scientists explained that the earthquake could have a magnitude of around 7.7 on the Richter ...

Simulations still can't predict exactly when an earthquake will happen, but with the incredible processing power of modern ...

The CoreLogic analysis shows that a magnitude 8.3 earthquake along the San Andreas – which was previously thought possible only on the northern segment of the fault line – could result in a ...

The San Andreas is strike-slip fault, in which opposing blocks of rocks slide past each other horizontally. A big San Andreas quake can spark fires and other mayhem, but it can’t displace water ...
