The United States Geological Survey (USGS) carries out an extensive program of seismic, geodetic, and geologic studies in California that may be relevant to designing new experiments on the North Anatolian Fault Zone. A telemetered microearthquake network of ~350 stations monitors seismicity down to...

An earthquake is caused by what's known as a "sudden slip" on a fault line. The Earth's tectonic plates are always moving, but they can get stuck at their edges due to friction, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) says.
Indian English-language media were the most active in reporting the nuclear test claims, often referencing each other’s stories, and citing the incorrect seismic data. The researchers also identified media reports from the United States, Israel, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, France, and the United Kingdom....
There's a major fault line in New Jersey called the Ramapo Fault, which stems from the Appalachian mountains, and there are at least five smaller fault lines under Manhattan island. The quake comes just a few months after the USGS warned nearly 75% of the United States could face damaging...
