EARTHQUAKE

An earthquake rattled northwest Oklahoma early morning on April 9. The tremors were felt in south-central Kansas too.

The earthquake, viewed as the strongest to ever hit the country, devastated the Southern Highlands, Hela Province and the Western Highlands region.

Disposal of wastewater from the production of oil and gas in southern Kansas is done by injecting it deep underground, and that is the likely reason why earthquakes there have increased in frequency.

According to current forecasts, California has a 93 percent chance of an earthquake with magnitude 7 or greater occurring by 2045. Early warning systems, now in development, could limit casualties and damage.

The area on Earth where earthquakes and volcanos are quite popular is called the "Ring of Fire."

Apps like the one from USGS make it easy to track earthquakes.

A strong earthquake, with a 7.9 magnitude, struck about 280 kilometers southeast of Kodiak, Alaska, at about 4:30 a.m. EST Tuesday morning.

Earlier studies have linked the strength of earthquakes to tidal stresses, which are related to the moon, but a new study debunks those theories.

The massive earthquake struck at 4:18 a.m. local time.

The quake struck just 1.8 miles from Berkeley, and some 40 miles northwest of San Jose, California.

Scientists predicted a massive increase in the number of large earthquakes in 2018 as the planet's rotation speed slows.

Earthquakes can shake the planet’s surface when one tectonic plate is squeezed underneath another and can be linked to either volcanic eruptions or tsunamis.

Toshiba Corporation has just unveiled a device that will study the happening inside Unit 2 of the fateful Fukushima Nuclear plant in Japan.

Experts warned that there was between a 7 and 40 percent chance of a magnitude 8.8 or greater earthquake striking in the ocean just south of Hokkaido.

Small tectonic aftershocks were detected near the site of North Korea's largest underground weapons test to date, which occurred in September.

Earth is in a constant state of vibration, even when there aren’t earthquakes rocking the surface, and now scientists have locked onto the planet’s frequency.

Bali's Agung volcano poses a serious threat and scientists and civilians alike are on a high-alert to witnessing a huge eruption.

Earthquakes cause more destruction when tectonic plates smash together faster.

Scientists warned of a potentially catastrophic magnitude 9.0 earthquake near New Zealand.

The moon makes waves with the force of gravity, but earthquakes makes them bigger by changing the ocean floor.

The region is along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and compact seafloor sediments are heightening the pre-existing danger, a study claimed Monday.
