On December 21, 1954, Mrs. Hess was in her home in Pepperwood when the ground began to shake. She fled outside and upon reaching the porch, the shaking became stronger and threw her down the steps ...
Most of the high-rise structures in the National Capital Region, like condominiums and office buildings, are "generally safe" if a strong earthquake hits Metro Manila. A magntude 6.9 earthquake hit ...
Scientists have built a lab model that visually tracks how microscopic contact points between fault surfaces evolve during earthquake cycles, revealing the hidden mechanics behind both the slow ...
Large quakes produce shaking at a variety of frequencies. Some waves can travel hundreds of miles, and are amplified by local geological conditions. By Thomas Fuller Thomas Fuller has reported on why ...
Scientists used supercomputer simulation to reveal the underlying mechanism by which the irregular fault geometry, characterized by multisegments, controlled the variation of the fault slip and ...
