January 26 marked the 325th anniversary since the last earthquake struck the Cascadia subduction zone. Centuries later, the ...

There's often little warning when a tsunami strikes, but a research team at USF aims to improve the forecasting of these hazardous events for communities that are most at risk.

The leftover pieces found under the Pacific Ocean surprised scientists as existing models have determined that there shouldn't be any such material in the area due to the lack of plate subduction.

Subduction zones are an excellent place to ask such questions because they represent an interface between major reservoirs: the ocean, the crust, and the mantle, and because subduction processes ...

Typically, these remnants are found near subduction zones, where one plate sinks beneath another. However, the anomalies detected under the Pacific Ocean are far from any plate boundaries ...

With eruptions in 1998, 2011, and 2015, the volcano serves as a perfect laboratory, and experts expect an eruption by the end ...

A record-breaking deep earthquake registered in May 2015 offshore of Japan likely was not a tectonic event but triggered by a ...

Landslides, whether underwater or on land, and ice falling into the ocean, volcanic eruptions, and meteor impacts, can also produce a tsunami. Because of the high number of subduction zones under ...
