Today is the six-year anniversary of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, which killed nearly 70,000 people, injured over 370,000 others and left about 4.8 million people homeless.

“At least if the models are to be believed, much of the mountain-building could actually happen between earthquakes rather than during the earthquakes themselves,” says Hilley.

With earthquakes making headlines all year long, this earthquake sensor is a great gadget to build over a weekend.

This is the moment an engineer demonstrated models of 'earthquake-resistant buildings' in China. Footage shows three plastic mini three-story buildings placed on black cylindrical isolators ...

Overturning a long-held assumption could change our understanding of when and where soil liquefaction will occur in earthquakes, say US researchers.
