This aerial image of the San Andreas Fault in the Carrizo Plain shows numerous curved drainages where fault slip has stretched stream channels to the left. Eventually, the channels get ‘reset’ when ...
New mechanical modeling of a network of active strike-slip faults in California's Imperial Valley suggests the faults are continuously linked, from the southern San Andreas Fault through the Imperial ...
As tectonic plates slip past each other, the rivers that cross fault lines change shape. The shifting ground stretches the river channels until the water breaks its course and flows onto new paths. In ...
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Oct. 10, 2022 — An artificial-intelligence approach borrowed from natural-language processing — much like language translation and autofill for text on your smart phone — can predict ...
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 ...

Swarms of tiny quakes expose hidden dangers along California’s giant faults
California’s most dangerous faults are not only defined by the headline grabbing magnitude 7 shocks that topple freeways and rupture gas lines. Deep below the surface, swarms of tiny earthquakes, some ...
Geologists from Heriot-Watt are part of an international research team that has confirmed why the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake off northeast Japan behaved in such an extreme and destructive way.
