Researchers from a renowned U.S. university captured a slow slip earthquake in motion. It was captured during the act of releasing tectonic pressure on a major fault zone at the bottom of the ocean. A ...

Slow-motion earthquakes, as you might guess from the name, involve the release of pent-up geological energy over the course of days or weeks rather than minutes – and scientists have now recorded some ...

A rare, ultra-long earthquake in Myanmar revealed that mature faults can deliver their full force directly to the surface.

The 2025 mega-quake in Myanmar was a catastrophe for the communities it struck, but for scientists it was also a once-in-a-generation natural experiment that unfolded almost perfectly on camera, in ...
