What's clear from the study is that while California's next "Big One" may share some characteristics of previously documented ...

When a magnitude 7. 7 earthquake shook Myanmar on March 28, 2025, it wasn’t just another powerful tremor—it was a geological ...

A study of March's Myanmar earthquake has found that strike-slip faults don't necessarily repeat past behavior, meaning the ...

This segment of the San Andreas Fault, in Palmdale, California, lies about 60 miles (100 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The image was captured from the Space Shuttle Endeavor on Feb. 11, 2000.

No one knows what to expect from the "Big One," Home Depot is becoming the ICE raid epicenter and more big stories.

Experts have issued an urgent warning regarding a supposed upcoming earthquake known as 'The Big One'. Scientists explained that the earthquake could have a magnitude of around 7.7 on the Richter ...

But the San Andreas Fault has about 150 miles (241 km) of slip between either side, meaning that volcanic rocks in Pinnacles National Park match those much farther south, in Los Angeles County.

Benthien and other experts at the conference say the San Andreas has not relieved stress building up for more than a century, making it long overdue for a massive quake as strong as a magnitude-8.0.

The area is overdue for a "Big One." Larger-scale quakes on the San Andreas Fault are expected every 200 years on average, and the southern area has not seen action since 1680 to 1690.

A new study from CalTech sheds light on the behavior of the Sagaing Fault, which is very similar to the San Andreas Fault.

As such, recent predictions limit the possible maximum earthquake magnitude along the San Andreas fault system to 8.0, although with a 7 percent probability estimate that such an event could occur ...
