Scientists studying Kīlauea found that a major 2018 earthquake may have paused slow fault slip for nearly 60 years beneath the volcano.

The Apennines region embodies a complex tectonic arena where active fault systems and recurring seismic events reflect the ongoing collision and extensional regimes shaping the Italian peninsula.

Researchers from Kyushu University deployed 1000 seismic stations in the area around the epicenter of the 2000 Western Tottori Earthquake, allowing seismic observations of unprecedented accuracy.

According to a recent studypublished in JGR Solid Earth, nearly half of California’s fault lines—including the infamous San Andreas Fault—are overdue for significant seismic activity. This includes ...
