(PhysOrg.com) -- New research on the Kitsap Peninsula, at the west edge of Washington state's Puget Sound, finds evidence that land was raised at least 6 feet by ancient earthquakes. http://www.physorg.com/news175195166.html Space & Earth Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:20:05 EST news175195166 People who were killed, injured or bereaved in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake had the cruel misfortune to be victims of an event that probably occurs just once in four millennia, seismologists said on Sunday. http://www.physorg.com/news173281082.html Space & Earth Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:38:37 EST news173281082 (PhysOrg.com) -- Increases in mysterious underground tremors observed in several active earthquake fault zones around the world could signal a build-up of stress at locked segments of the faults and presumably an increased likelihood of a major quake, according to a new University of California, Berkeley, study. http://www.physorg.com/news166369901.html Space & Earth Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:30:01 EST news166369901 (PhysOrg.com) -- Using satellite radar data, NASA-funded scientists, including UC Riverside`s Gareth Funning, have observed for the first time the healing of subtle, natural surface scars from an earthquake in Iran that occurred on a `buried` fault extending several miles below the surface -a fault whose fractures are not easily observed at Earth`s surface. http://www.physorg.com/news155489690.html Space & Earth Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:36:00 EST news155489690 Deep-sea drilling into one of the most active earthquake zones on the planet is providing the first direct look at the geophysical fault properties underlying some of the world's largest earthquakes and tsunamis. http://www.physorg.com/news153919676.html Space & Earth Sun, 15 Feb 2009 11:28:23 EST news153919676 Oregon State University scientists have completed a new analysis of an earthquake fault line that extends some 200 miles off the southern and central Oregon coast that they say is more active than the San Andreas Fault in California. http://www.physorg.com/news138967210.html Space & Earth Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:00:10 EST news138967210
