A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck beneath the Bismarck Sea off the northern coast of Papua New Guinea on May 29, 2026, at 14:23 UTC, centered at approximately 4.8 degrees south latitude and 148.9 degrees east longitude at a depth of roughly 10 kilometers,

Deep beneath the Pacific, one undersea fault has produced nearly identical magnitude 6 earthquakes every few years for decades. Researchers now think strange, water-soaked barrier zones inside the

University of Delaware geologist Jessica Warren has contributed to research that brings us one step closer to better understanding how earthquakes operate. Situated along a stretch of the equator in the Pacific Ocean,

A magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck beneath the seafloor near the remote village of Atka in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands on May 22, 2026, sending seismic waves rippling through one of the most active tectonic boundaries on Earth.

Deep beneath the eastern Pacific Ocean about 1,000 miles off the coast of Ecuador, a fault line on the seafloor has been generating magnitude 6 earthquakes with almost clocklike regularity for at least three decades.

Scientists have finally explained why a Pacific Ocean fault has been generating repeating “clockwork” earthquakes for decades. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com.

USGS recorded the magnitude 1.9 quake Friday near Lilton Road, 6 miles north of Irmo — the fifth Midlands tremor in 30 days and sixth statewide.

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck Hawaii's Big Island, causing widespread shaking but no eruption or tsunami. Authorities confirmed the quake was due to tectonic activity, not volcanic processes.

Temblors frequently strike around the world. These suggestions will help you prepare for the next quake that might rattle your town.

An earthquake and 15 aftershocks have struck a remote stretch of southern Nevada near the highly restricted Area 51 military installation, United States Geological Survey (USGS) research geologist Christopher DuRoss told Newsweek.
