After three years of compiling data from more than 500 faults and applying new hazard assessment techniques, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has produced new seismic hazard maps for the continental United States. The map shown here provides estimates of earthquake ground accelerations (as a ...
A comprehensive new catalog that factors in "hidden" quakes is helping scientists better understand the planet's tectonic activity.

The United States Geological Survey warned that nearly 75% of the U.S. could face potentially damaging earthquakes and intense ground shaking in the next 100 years. The agency shared new maps Wednesday, showing the areas that are most at risk. A team of more than 50 scientists and engineers...

According to theand the, many major earthquakes—such as Northridge in 1994 and Ridgecrest in 2019—occurred on faults that were unknown at the time. Learn more about known faults in your area by using theUnited States Geologic Survey (USGS)’s interactive fault map. ...
near the surface along its path, including a disastrous quake in San Francisco in 1906, a less serious event there in 1989, and a strong and destructive quake centred in the Los Angeles suburb of Northridge in 1994 that occurred along one of the San Andreas’s larger secondary faults. ...
For many years prediction research has been influenced by the basic argument that strain accumulates in the rock masses in the vicinity of a fault and results in crustal deformation.Deformationshave been measured in the horizontal direction along active faults (by trilateration and triangulation) and ...
