Fault zones are often wide, branching networks rather than narrow lines, requiring a shift to 3D models for better earthquake ...

At the Seismological Society of America's Annual Meeting, researchers posed a seemingly simple question: how wide are faults?

Scientists say the size of earthquake faults may have been previously underestimated, extending potentially dangerous ...

At the Seismological Society of America's Annual Meeting, researchers posed a seemingly simple question: how wide are faults? Using data compiled from single earthquakes across the world ...

In this type of fault, the block of rock above the fault plane, known as the hanging wall, moves downward relative to the block below, called the footwall. Normal faults are typically found at ...
