Describe some ways that scientists around the world can be sure that their data are accurate and replicable. Explain how the patterns of volcanoes and earthquakes are related to plate tectonics. Describe the method used by scientists to determine the age of the Earth. Approximately how old is...
Though earthquakes have terrorized people since ancient times, it's only been in the past 100 years that scientists have come to understand what causes them, and to develop technology to detect their origin and measure their magnitude. In addition, engineers and architects have worked to make bu...

in central California. Six earthquakes in that section had occurred at unusually regular intervals compared to earthquakes along other faults, so scientists from the US Geological Survey (USGS) forecasted with a high degree of confidence that the...
How Twitter is helping the U.S. government detect earthquakes.Matthews, Chris
the primary aim is to generate interest in the system's crowdsourcing approach and to get as many people as possible to use the MyShake app. The denser the network, the faster the system's earthquake detection will be. Currently, the scientists are hoping to launch an app update early ...
the fact that scientists have not yet carefully considered anti-correlated waveforms. The set of reported case studies concerns a broad range of magnitudes, spanning from microseismicity associated to fluid injection operations up to earthquakes of magnitudes Mw 6.0, e.g., at the Mid Atlantic ridge...

Compare shifts at different ends of transform faults, like the San Andreas Fault, to predict earthquakes Monitor the land around volcanoes to detect magma moving toward the surface, making it possible to predict volcanic eruptions earlier Measure snow and ice depth in places like Antarctica to colle...
detect earthquakes are on land, these cables could fill in huge gaps in scientists’ ability to observe seismic activity. The novel approach doesn’t even require installing any new equipment to the existing web of more than a million kilometers of fiber optic cables that cut across the ...
