The United States Geological Survey (USGS) explains that “faults allow the blocks (of rock) to move relative to each other. This movement may occur rapidly in the form of an earthquake—or may occur slowly, in the form of creep. During an earthquake, the rock on one side of the ...
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 ...
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...

Deformation is accommodated throughout the territory of Iran; major structures include several north-south-trending, right-lateral strike-slip fault systems in the east and, farther to the north, a series of east-west-trending reverse- and strike-slip faults. This deformation apparently does not ...
