When the ground shakes violently, entire cities can crumble within minutes. Homes, hospitals, roads, and lives can vanish ...

An ocean may in time develop from a rift in the Afar Triangle, in the Horn of Africa which will be close to America.

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

For more than 50 years, the Kalisky Family has been baking bread in Davis. It started as a hobby with Trudy and Mo Kalisky making bread as UC Davis graduate students. From there it turned into a ...

On a dynamic planet like Earth, it can be easy for drivers of change to go unnoticed – but scientists have now established and investigated an unexpected link between the Sun and our homeworld.

Could the sun play a role in earthquake forecasting? A new study suggests solar heat may subtly influence seismic activity by altering surface temperatures and underground pressure. Credit: ...

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

WASHINGTON, March 4, 2025 – Seismology has revealed much of the basics about earthquakes: Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form ...

Heat from the sun affects earthquake activity on Earth, suggests new research. Incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may improve seismic forecasts - and ...

A new study has revealed that two continent-sized regions in Earth's deep mantle have distinctive histories and resulting chemical composition, in contrast to the common assumption that they are ...
