Noting that the Eastern Anatolian Fault is a "strike-slip" vertical fault, very similar to the well-known San Andreas Fault in California, US, Jones said: “That means that the shaking is being ...

To researchers at Kyoto University, the clip wasn’t just a jaw-dropping scene—it was an opportunity to study a strike-slip fault using visual data. Geologists analyzed the brief video frame-by ...

The earthquake that shook Myanmar a week ago was a "special" type of strike-slip fault, with a rupture about 450 kilometers long in only 80 to 90 seconds, causing intense effects in places located ...

The magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck Myanmar and Thailand on March 28 has crossed a bittersweet milestone. As seen in a new video, the quake involved a strike-slip fault in the town of Thazi ...
