The study points out growing stress in the locked areas of the Longmenshan Fault located in southwest China, the location of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. It also discusses the Eastern Himalayan ...

“The region may currently be entering the nascent phase of a new seismic active period,” scientists said in a statement. The study points to growing pressure building up in locked sections of the ...

You brush it off, but without your knowledge, an electrical hazard could be quietly developing. This scenario might sound harmless, but it could be the result of a ground fault — a scary danger ...

Map of damage (rock fractures) around the Longmenshan fault zone, China. The red lines on this simplified geological map show the surface rupture of the 2008 magnitude 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake.

However, in the area subject to the most significant deformation along the Longmenshan fault zone, the coherence between pre- and after- earthquake SAR images is completely lost because of the ...

Methods: To study the spatio-temporal contour anomalies in seismic strain fields, we assessed them for seismic activity variables and natural orthogonal function expansion, in six strong earthquakes ...

This paper uses the latest dense GPS data, combined with precise Leveling data to analyze the kinematic characteristics and deformation mode of the Longmenshan fault zone (LMSF) and the Longriba fault ...

Triggered by the collision of the Eurasian and Indian-Australian tectonic plates along the Longmenshan Fault, the quake had its epicenter in mountains 50 miles outside the Sichuan capital ...
