UC scientists develop tool to predict future earthquake sites
2+ day, 12+ hour ago (361+ words) UC Riverside scientists can’t tell us when a major earthquake will hit. But they’ve developed a new technique to predict where. In a paper published this summer in Geophysical Research Letters, UCR geophysicists Gareth Funning and Axel Periollat described how…...
Italy’s Apennine Mountains mystery: Why is Earth’s crust slowly ‘unzipping’ deep underground, and what is happening beneath the surface?
2+ day, 16+ hour ago (470+ words) Scientists studying Italy’s Apennine Mountains have found a strange process deep below the surface. The Earth’s crust in this region appears to be slowly pulling apart, almost like a zip opening from underground. The finding comes from researchers at the…...
Scientists trace 2024 earthquake that shook 42 million to previously unmapped New Jersey fault zone
3+ day, 14+ hour ago (578+ words) "Subtle, immature faults may pose a greater seismic hazard than the prominent, large faults that we traditionally focus on." A rare jolt hit New Jersey in April when a magnitude 4.8 earthquake sent tremors across the East Coast, startling millions. Researchers…...

Deep Inside Earth, Hydrogen May Move Like a Liquid While the Iron Around It Stays Solid
1+ week, 18+ hour ago (489+ words) Earth’s inner core remains one of the planet’s hardest places to understand. Now, an extreme laboratory experiment has uncovered unusual behavior that researchers had struggled to observe directly. Something unusual may be happening deep inside Earth. Experiments suggest that hydrogen…...
