The volcano may have been primed to erupt before the magnitude 8.8 quake pushed it over the edge.

Several factors help determine whether a given earthquake will generate a dangerous tsunami, but the process is not yet fully understood.

One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Russia's Far East early Wednesday, sending tsunami waves into Japan and Hawaii and across the Pacific.

The surprise announcement by the unelected government said the halt in fighting would run until April 22 to show compassion for people affected by last week's quake.

With many of those trapped potentially having sustained serious injuries, and unable to access food or water, operators are now locked in a race against time to get them out before it's too late.

A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake killed over 1,000 people near the epicenter in Myanmar. In neighboring Thailand, several were killed when a high-rise tower collapsed.

The late night quakes measured 4.5 and 2. 7. It wasn't the first time. February 2024 saw several temblors within a few days. Almost two dozen earthquakes were recorded near Falls City — including one with a 4.7 magnitude — and were felt in San Antonio and as far away as Round Rock.

Triggered by a 9.1 magnitude earthquake off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, the catastrophic event was the deadliest tsunami in recorded history.

A powerful earthquake struck off the Northern California coast, triggering tsunami warnings that were later canceled. Several aftershocks continued to rattle the area off Eureka.

It was rather shallow, at just under two kilometers below the Earth's surface. There were no reports of serious damage.
