A new report studied a massive earthquake that ruptured in the southeast Asian country of Myanmar on March 28 — on a fault ...

When a magnitude 7. 7 earthquake shook Myanmar on March 28, 2025, it wasn’t just another powerful tremor—it was a geological ...

A study of March's Myanmar earthquake has found that strike-slip faults don't necessarily repeat past behavior, meaning the San Andreas fault could unleash a bigger quake than any seen before.

Northern California was jolted early this morning as multiple earthquakes struck within a short time frame, sparking fears of ...

The San Andreas Fault is about 746 miles (1,200 km) long and about 10 miles (16 km) deep. While the San Andreas is a giant fault that is even visible from space, if you zoom in, you'll see a ...

The San Andreas fault caused the Great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, when a 7.9 magnitude tremor destroyed 90% of the city and killed more than 3,000 people.

Similar research by Fumal and his colleagues on the San Andreas fault zone at Thousand Palms Oasis near Palm Springs indicates that this part of the fault is also primed for an earthquake. The ...

If San Andreas fault produced a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, 1,800 are predicted to die.

SAN FRANCISCO – Four urban sections of the San Andreas Fault system in Northern California have stored enough energy to produce major earthquakes, according to a new study that measures fault creep.

As such, recent predictions limit the possible maximum earthquake magnitude along the San Andreas fault system to 8.0, although with a 7 percent probability estimate that such an event could occur ...

The San Andreas fault appears to look like a long and narrow valley (Picture: Getty) Mexico was hit with a 7.1 magnitude earthquake on Tuesday, less than two weeks after another quake struck the ...
