Knowledge 3 main types of fault lines and how they form earthquakes Faults are classified into three main types: normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults.

How tides can trigger earthquakes A new study reveals the inner workings of tidally triggered earthquakes, and finds that even the slightest stress can set off a tremor Date: June 8, 2019 Source ...

Scientists discovered why earthquakes along mid-ocean ridges occur during low tides, and the answer lies in the magma chambers lying below, according to a new report.

Silicic calderas form during explosive volcanic eruptions when magma withdrawal triggers collapse along bounding faults. The nature of specific interactions between magmatism and tectonism in ...

A recent study in the journal Geology says glacial ice has an impact on the behavior of magma below the Earth's surface. It finds a correlation between a warmer climate and more volcanic activity.

April 7 (UPI) -- Scientists were able to estimate the viscosity of magma inside Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano by studying fault movements before and during the volcano's eruption in 2018.

Magma is stored deep within the Earth’s crust, often until something triggers its eruption to the surface. However, what controls the depth at which magma is stored remains poorly understood.

The 2018 Kilauea eruption provided scientists with an unprecedented opportunity to identify new factors that could help forecast the hazard potential of future eruptions.

The U.S. Geological Survey says increased seismic activity beneath the Loihi seamount over the weekend is likely due to magma movement, but says they are not likely to lead to an eruption.
