Earthquak

The 6.0 magnitude quake was located on a faultline underneath the Pacific Ocean, 173 miles (279 kilometers) from the city of Bandon in the state of Oregon, the US Geological Survey said.

US scientist Gary Ruvkun, who on Monday won the Nobel Prize in Medicine with fellow American Victor Ambros for their discovery of microRNA, said winning the honour was like "an earthquake".

The unusual timing of the earthquakes, coupled with the ongoing geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran, led to speculations about a covert nuclear test being conducted.

Turkey on Friday handed 865 years in prison to a man behind the construction of a building which collapsed during a powerful 2023 earthquake, killing 96, state media said.

The world's largest hydroelectric dam in China called the Three Gorges Dam is a very huge infrastructure project that is affecting the spin of Earth, according to IFL Science.

A 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Japan's Izu Islands on Tuesday, the USGS said, triggering local weather authorities to issue a tsunami warning for the remote Pacific area off Tokyo.

A 5.7 magnitude earthquake jolted parts of Pakistan, including the capital Islamabad, on Wednesday, according to the country's meteorological department.

Google announced multiple new features for Android users on Tuesday. There are a total of five new features being added to existing Android tools such as TalkBack and Circle to Search. Google Chrome is also getting a new text-to-speech feature that will allow users to listen to articles and web pages easily. Offline Google Maps are also being added...

A recent study suggests that earthquakes may significantly contribute to the formation of gold nuggets within quartz veins through a process known as piezoelectricity.

Humanitys fascination with gold stretches back thousands of years. Gold mining is described in ancient Greek and Roman sources, and gold rushes especially in the 19th century played a powerful role in shaping the modern world.

By analyzing seismic waves generated by large earthquakes, geophysicists identified a region where these waves slow down as they pass through the outer core.

This rare deep-sea fish was discovered just before a 4.4-magnitude earthquake struck Los Angeles. It was transported to NOAA for examination.

A new study published in AGU Advances has unveiled intriguing findings about ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) in Earth's mantle, suggesting these mysterious features might be more widespread than previously thought.ULVZs, which are known to dramatically slow seismic waves by up to 50%, have long been associated with volcanic hotspots such as Hawaii...

Two back-to-back earthquakes measuring 4.9 and 4.8 on the Richter scale occurred in the Kashmir Valley on Tuesday. However, no loss of life or damage to property has been so far reported from anywhere.

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.1 struck off the Japanese prefecture of Ibaraki, just northeast of Tokyo, the country's weather agency said.
