People with Android phones got a notification that a trembler was about to rock Silicon Valley. WIRED looks at the tech behind that feat.

Scientists from Cambridge University and NTU Singapore have found that slow-motion collisions of tectonic plates drag more carbon into Earth's interior than previously thought. They found that the carbon drawn into Earth's interior at subduction zones—where tectonic plates collide and dive into Earth's interior—tends to stay locked away at depth, rather than resurfacing in the form of volcanic emissions.

Hours after becoming the first nation to authorise bitcoin as a legal tender, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele instructed a state-owned geothermal electric company to plan to use geothermal energy from the country’s volcanoes for mining for the cryptocurrency.

Google leverages the massive scale of Android to do phone-based earthquake tracking.

Seismic waves travelling through Earth have revealed a giant structure between Earth's molten core and solid mantle under the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific

New research shows that every 7 to 12 minutes, a small, and safe, earthquake occurs beneath the Mauna Kea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.

About four billion people — roughly half the world's population — have reportedly been told to isolate themselves in their homes to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. And the major decrease in the hum of normal human activity has led to a surprising shift in Earth's vibrations.

It could be tried again if the city of Hilo comes under threat, although many object to such airstrikes.

An engineering team bored 2 miles into hot rock without causing major earthquakes—a good sign for harnessing the Earth's heat as a power source.

The process of rifting in Africa means that the continent is slowly breaking apart and with that comes lots of volcanoes, some with the potential for massive explosive eruptions.

Since Texas earthquake rates first picked up in 2008, academic scientists, regulators and oil and gas companies have publicly agreed on one thing

The depths of the planet offer a rock-hard potential solution to climate change.

A perfect-storm mixture of hurricane, ocean and seafloor topography can create distinct seismic signals called “stormquakes.”

The rock-eating, sulfur-breathing microbes have scientists wondering what other strange creatures dwell deep below Earth's surface.

Up 2.5% of the sand on beaches near Hiroshima may in fact be fallout debris from the World War II atomic bomb that devastated the Japanese city. US researchers have made a detailed study of numerous small glassy spheres found in nearby coastal areas and concluded that there can be only one possible explanation for their origin.

Researchers compared quakes from Earth, the moon and Mars inside a "quake room."

No news was still unsettling for some residents.

A strange seismic event off the coast of Africa has led scientists to a mighty finding: the discovery of the largest underwater volcanic eruption ever recorded. The eruption also may explain a weird seismic event recorded in November 2018 just off the island of Mayotte, located between Madagascar and Mozambique in the Indian Ocean. Researchers described that event as a seismic hum that circled the world, but no one could figure out what sparked it.

The nation’s energy ministry expressed ‘deep regret’, and said it would dismantle the experimental plant.

Revealed by powerful earthquakes, the subterranean structures offer exciting new clues to why our planet is a chemical oddball.
