After the biggest earthquake to hit Southern California in 20 years struck in July, a powerful fault line that could cause a magnitude 8 earthquake began moving, scientists say. In a study published ...

The world's most notorious fault line has massive seismic pressure just waiting to be released, new scientific evidence has confirmed. When it snaps, it could unleash a massive earthquake, possibly ...

Researchers say GPS technology reveals new evidence of significant movement along the San Andreas Fault. Findings published in the journal Nature Geoscience indicate a "small-amplitude, but spatially ...

Today, new research shows how quickly the San Andreas Fault is moving and what that means. On the March 24 episode of “SoCal Update,” we understand why scientists are taking note of a series of ...

HAYWARD, Calif. (KGO) -- ABC7 News has learned that Sunday night's rupture of a massive pipeline in Hayward that sent water, rocks and mud running down city streets may have been caused by a "creep" ...

HAYWARD (KPIX 5) -- A chunk of sidewalk in Hayward that offered a visual reminder of the power of seismic faults has been 'fixed,' much to the dismay of scientists and locals. The sidewalk had been ...

Using single calcite crystals with varying surface roughness allows engineers to simplify the complex physics that describes fault movement. Researchers now show how this simplification may lead to ...
