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

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 ...

The San Andreas Fault is about 746 miles (1,200 km) long and about 10 miles (16 km) deep. While the San Andreas is a giant fault that is even visible from space, if you zoom in, you'll see a ...

But the San Andreas Fault has about 150 miles (241 km) of slip between either side, meaning that volcanic rocks in Pinnacles National Park match those much farther south, in Los Angeles County.

Scientist knew almost immediately that the Ridgecrest quakes were not on the San Andreas fault. But understanding how those temblors might impact the 730-mile monster capable of producing “The ...

As such, recent predictions limit the possible maximum earthquake magnitude along the San Andreas fault system to 8.0, although with a 7 percent probability estimate that such an event could occur ...
