(Natural News) A magnitude 4.9 earthquake hit Mila province in northeastern Algeria on Friday, August 7, leaving huge cracks on the ground and destroying at least three houses. People rushed to the streets as the shallow quake, which was located 6.3 miles underground, hit in the morning at 6:15 UTC. The epicenter of the quake was located almost […]

(Natural News) An earthquake along the New Madrid fault system in the central United States could cause more widespread damage than a major earthquake along the San Andreas Fault, scientists warn. California’s famed fault gets more attention, but it appears that New Madrid, which is also called the New Madrid Seismic Zone, poses an even […]

(Natural News) Authorities are closely monitoring a swarm of small earthquakes underneath the Salton Sea in southern California. The swarm first occurred on Monday morning at 6:33 a.m., August 10. Since then, more than 100 small earthquakes have already been recorded, with the biggest one occurring also on Monday at 8:56 a.m. The epicenter of the swarm was located […]

(Natural News) A study published in the journal Geosphere simulated possible rupture scenarios along the Coachella Valley segment in southern San Andreas Fault. Results show that even a slight change in fault parameters, including friction and stress conditions, could lead to a wild assortment of outcomes. The rupture could also spread toward different locations along the fault line, said researchers from the University […]

(Natural News) On the night of August 17, 1959, a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck west of Yellowstone National Park. Campers fled in horror while geologists stationed in the area scrambled to document the phenomenon. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) was keen on monitoring the Yellowstone Volcano, a supervolcano that could wreak untold destruction in the event of an eruption. […]

(Natural News) Many scientific investigations have been conducted to figure out if there is a connection between the tide and earthquakes. For decades, scientists have failed to understand exactly why there is an uptick in earthquake tremors during low tide. A new study, published in the journal Nature Communications, has finally figured out the mysterious link between […]

(Natural News) Speculation is growing as to what the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) might be secretly up to after observers recently noticed a NASA817 airplane mysteriously zig-zagging its way up the San Andreas Fault in California. Reports indicate that the low-flying craft was seen traveling from the Palmdale area of Southern California up […]

(Natural News) Did you know that there are enormous “blobs of masses” between your feet and the core of the Earth? While scientists know for certain that they exist, the purpose they serve continues to baffle them. These blobs are as wide as continents and are as high as Mount Everest. They are found at […]

(Natural News) In the aftermath of the magnitudes 6.4 and 7.1 earthquakes that struck Southern California consecutively on July 4th and 5th, some experts are now sounding the alarm about the very real potential for this sudden uptick in West Coast rumbling to potentially trigger an eruption of the infamous Yellowstone “supervolcano.” Though some mainstream […]

(Natural News) Given the considerable levels of seismic activity throughout California, it comes as no surprise that Los Angeles has experienced more than its fair share of earthquakes over the centuries. But the results of a recent study warned that many of those quakes may have been triggered by oil pumping and other human activities. The study […]
