What's clear from the study is that while California's next "Big One" may share some characteristics of previously documented ...

A study of March's Myanmar earthquake has found that strike-slip faults don't necessarily repeat past behavior, meaning the ...

Experts have issued an urgent warning regarding a supposed upcoming earthquake known as 'The Big One'. Scientists explained that the earthquake could have a magnitude of around 7.7 on the Richter ...

A new study is shedding light on the behavior of the Sagaing Fault, which is very similar to the San Andreas Fault, following 7.7 quake in Myanmar earlier this year.

No one knows what to expect from the "Big One," Home Depot is becoming the ICE raid epicenter and more big stories.

This segment of the San Andreas Fault, in Palmdale, California, lies about 60 miles (100 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The image was captured from the Space Shuttle Endeavor on Feb. 11, 2000.

A small part of the San Andreas Fault that was thought to quietly slide without shaking its neighbors may actually be capable of strong earthquakes, including magnitude-6 shakers, a new study ...

As such, recent predictions limit the possible maximum earthquake magnitude along the San Andreas fault system to 8.0, although with a 7 percent probability estimate that such an event could occur ...

Benthien and other experts at the conference say the San Andreas has not relieved stress building up for more than a century, making it long overdue for a massive quake as strong as a magnitude-8.0.

But the San Andreas Fault has about 150 miles (241 km) of slip between either side, meaning that volcanic rocks in Pinnacles National Park match those much farther south, in Los Angeles County.

"The San Andreas fault is locked, loaded and ready to roll. The springs of that fault have been wound pretty tightly and the situation is there where we could have major earthquakes in California ...

A 2008 U.S. Geological Survey report warned that a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault would cause more than 1,800 deaths, 50,000 injuries, $200 billion in damage and severe ...
