- 1From:Geographical (Vol. 94, Issue 11)* The Nankai Trough, off the south coast of Japan's Honshu island, marks one of the world's best-studied seismogenic subduction zones, where large megathrust earthquakes have repeatedly occurred every 90-150 years. The...
- 2From:Business Insurance (Vol. 49, Issue 6)Giant earthquake, tsunami risks identified -- More than 20 subduction zones could produce giant earthquakes and tsunamis such as the ones that devastated the Tohoku, Japan, area in 2011, according to a tsunami risk...
- 3From:Providence Business News (Vol. 16, Issue 24)KINGSTON - Chris Kincaid, a geophysicist at the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Qceanography, has received $143,000 from the National Science Foundation to study flow patterns in subduction zones, the...
- 4From:Geographical (Vol. 85, Issue 2)Scientists have used a data-mining technique originally developed for analysing online user data to link major earthquake risk with locations where seafloor 'scars' or fracture zones meet subduction zones (where red...
- 5From:Science News (Vol. 173, Issue 6)A 200-kilometer-long, 500-meter-thick layer of rocks now lying high in the mountains of Italy is recognized as the remains of an erosive subduction zone that was active under the sea millions of years ago, scientists...
- 6From:The Economist (Vol. 332, Issue 7879)Oceanographic and geologic researchers in the Juan de Fuca ridge near the US Northwest coast observed bacteria emerging from the vents in the region in Oct 1993, shortly after a volcano erupted. Some believe the bacteria...
- 7From:Booklist (Vol. 92, Issue 5)Gr. 5-8. Astounding live-action footage and impressive animation techniques greatly facilitate understanding of the causes and effects of earthquakes and volcanoes. From introductions depicting recent earthquakes or...
- 8From:Science News (Vol. 127)The Juan de Fuca subduction zone off the coast of Washington and Oregon is neslted in the so-called ring of fire, a band of subduction zones extending around teh Pacific Ocean that is renowned for large, sometimes...
- 9From:World and I (Vol. 20, Issue 2)A team of twenty-seven U.S. marine scientists beginning an intensive program of exploration at the Lau Basin, in the South Pacific, has discovered a new cluster of hydrothermal vents along a volcanically active crack in...
- 10From:Geographical (Vol. 85, Issue 8)A team of geologists has found a new subduction zone off Portugal, representing the beginning of a phase where the European continent moves towards the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean becomes more tectonically active,...
- 11From:Science News (Vol. 181, Issue 9)Venice is still sinking and will probably continue to do so for a long time, a new study suggests. That's bad news for the local government, which had already put a stop to groundwater pumping in an effort to curb the...
- 12From:Science News (Vol. 185, Issue 1)Boundaries between tectonic plates may make ideal diamond nurseries, according to an experiment that mimics conditions deep in the Earth. Scientists have long thought diamonds might form in subduction zones, where one...
- 13From:Journal of Himalayan Earth Sciences (Vol. 44)Byline: Chiara Montomoli and Rodolfo Carosi The Main Central Thrust covers a key role in the dynamic of the Himalayan belt and it has been traced for more than 2000 km from NE India to Pakistan and an open debate...
- 14From:Science News (Vol. 181, Issue 11)Plate tectonics might have gotten a fitful start on the early Earth. Two researchers propose that plate tectonics started and stopped over and over billions of years ago, before running continuously. The work,...
- 15From:The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (Vol. 127, Issue 1-2)THE CREATURE HAD CRAWLED up onto the shore to die. Oliver stopped on the stony beach and considered the corpse, tangled among the driftwood and ribbons of old kelp. He supposed it could have been a type of fish. He...
- 16From:Geographical (Vol. 85, Issue 5)A team of US scientists has discovered a layer of magma in the Earth's mantle that may act as a lubricant, facilitating the movement of the tectonic plates. Using seafloor electromagnetic imaging technology,...
- 17From:The Economist (Vol. 335, Issue 7911)A survey of earthquake research history is presented. The origin of seismology in the 19th century, various earthquake theories, the seismograph, different directions of the earth's movements, fault locations, and other...
- 18From:Journal of Himalayan Earth Sciences (Vol. 43)Byline: Zahid Rafi According to the historical seismic importance of Makran Subductin Zone (MKZ), it has the potential for future large earthquakes and tsunamis. This study is based on numerical modeling of tsunami...
