Mount Denali, North America's highest mountain, is a beautiful sight. While beautiful, though, scientists have long wondered exactly how this mountain came to be. Now, new research has finally ...
The East Anatolian fault, site of a deadly February 2023 earthquake, formed 5 million years ago thanks to the squeeze of the Eurasian and Arabian plates, new research finds. The creation of the fault ...
A study by Brown researchers finds that changes in tectonic plate thickness across the Denali Fault in Alaska impact where it is located, shedding light on how major faults and earthquakes occur.

The San Andreas Fault: Facts about the crack in California's crust that could unleash the 'Big One'
The San Andreas Fault is California's longest and most famous fault. At this fracture zone, two plates of Earth's crust move past each other. It stretches from the Salton Sea in Southern California to ...
For the first time, researchers have identified Earth's largest exposed fault lurking beneath the Banda Sea in eastern Indonesia. As a significant discovery, it explains the mystery of the 7.2 km (4.5 ...
Scientists have long held the belief that the fracturing of the Earth's brittle outer shell into faults along the deep ocean's mountainous landscape occurs only during long periods when no ...
An international survey effort headed by researchers from the University of Minnesota’s Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences (E&ES) accurately determined the age and formation of the East ...
The Earth's crust may have something in common with a lot of people: It tends to be lazy, at least when it comes to moving along certain types of seismic faults, new research says. Using a special ...
One structural geologist calls it the 'million-dollar question' that underlies all work in her laboratory: what goes on deep in the earth as strike-slip faults form in the crust? This is the fault ...
Scientists have long held the belief that the fracturing of the Earth's brittle outer shell into faults along the deep ocean's mountainous landscape occurs only during long periods when no magma has ...
