The Tintina fault is thought to have been inactive for more than 40 million years, but new research suggests that earthquakes ...

Confirming the megathrust fault line off Haida Gwaii offers a path to improve tsunami modelling in a zone that has produced ...

That brings the historical catalogue for the Yellowstone caldera up to 86,276 earthquakes between 2008 and 2022 and paints a ...

Finley says future earthquakes on the Tintina fault could be major, exceeding a mangitude 7.5, potentially causing severe shaking in Dawson City, a community with a population of about 2,350 people.

The new study reveals more recent activity along the Tintina fault, which stretches about 600 miles, from northeastern ...

Researchers at the University of Victoria found that the previously overlooked Tintina Fault could pose a hazard to the ...

However, that inactivity belies a devastating potency. The fault is capable of generating a magnitude 7.8 earthquake, said seismologist Lucy Jones, a Caltech research associate.

Megathrust faults can generate some of Earth’s largest quakes. One example is the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, which rocked Japan and fomented a tsunami that devastated coastal areas, as shown.

In the study, the research teams analyzed the seismic action happening in the area around the epicenter of the Western Tottori Earthquake, which occurred in 2000 with a magnitude of 7.3.

When scientists think of the next big earthquake, they tend to assume it will stem from a major fault line. But now, experts warn it could originate on small, 'branch' faults we don't pay much ...

People in B.C. regularly have earthquake drills at school and work, trying to prepare for what’s known as “the big one.” The problem is, it is almost impossible to predict when that will happen.
