The Japan Meteorological Agency has a unique seismic scale called shindo that measures the degree of shaking in the event of an earthquake. This set of numbers — ranging from 0 to 7 — is ...
data which indicates a slowed seismic velocity layer beneath the current total depth of the Jetstream #1 well. HIGHLIGHTS A single 20.4 km 2D reflection seismic line acquisition completed ...
Stein and Bird warn that hidden branch faults could trigger catastrophic earthquakes, acting as accelerators for seismic events. With 25,000 km of faults globally, the next big quake could be imminent ...
In a twist on the old "if a tree falls in the forest" thought experiment, a global team of scientists worked together to connect mysterious seismic signals that were detected around the planet ...
What precisely is fueling the sequence of shakers is not entirely clear, and officials warn that prior seismic activity does not necessarily mean more powerful temblors are imminent. But the ...
That Sept. 12 quake near Malibu marked SoCal’s 14th seismic sequence this year that included at least one magnitude 4 or higher temblor, according to seismologist Lucy Jones, L.A.’s patron ...
