A new 3D model of the Earth will now let scientists pinpoint the sources of earthquakes and explosions around the globe more accurately than ever, researchers say.

The benefits of 3D fault models vary depending on the fault style (a strike slip versus a reverse fault, for instance), whether the event is a subduction or crustal earthquake, and the level of ...

The Sandia and Los Alamos National Labs have partnered to develop a 3-D model of the Earth’s mantle that can pinpoint earthquakes and explosions.

To better understand how the characteristics of the affected fault lines impact earthquake dynamics, researchers in Japan used recently developed simulations to make a detailed model of the fault.

On Jan. 1, 2024, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to shifting tectonic plates ...

Then they use lasers and lab equipment to simulate an earthquake, and monitor the model to see how the waves move through different layers. It looked extremely similar to data recorded in real-life ...

Science OSU researches use 3D modeling to analyze earthquake risks The new 3D model provides a better understanding of what's taking place deep underground along the Cascadia Subduction Zone.

Professors from the University of Bristol have put together a giant earthquake simulator that shakes 3D-printed buildings to test for safety.
