A recent study has revealed extensive data on how strike-slip faults develop over time and eventually cause earthquakes at the Earth's surface. Researchers coined the movement of two plates in a ...

Possible strike-slip fault on Titan (a). Arrows indicate the possible slip direction of displacement of fluvial features. The offset for the northernmost mapped portion is about 10 km for both ...

On September 28, 2018, an inexplicably large tsunami devastated the Indonesian coastal city of Palu and several others nearby. Between the tsunami and the magnitude 7.5 earthquake that caused it, some ...

New findings begin to fill major gaps in understanding about how geological faults behave and appear as they deepen, and they could eventually help lead future researchers to develop better earthquake ...

A new study found overlooked tsunami hazards related to undersea, near-shore strike-slip faults, especially for coastal cities adjacent to faults that traverse inland bays. Several areas around the ...
