(Natural News) Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has been wreaking havoc all over the nation despite claims that it is not harmful to people or the environment, and now it has emerged that scientists are being forced to cover up the role it plays in earthquakes. The process of fracking involves extracting natural gas by drilling […]

(Natural News) The city of Reno has been hit with nearly 250 mini-tremors in just a week, stoking fears that the area could be hit by a serious earthquake in the near future. The rumbles have mostly been too small for people to notice, but they are part of an earthquake swarm that raises the […]

(Natural News) The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recently announced that an ongoing earthquake swarm at the Yellowstone National Park supervolcano is now one of the longest ever recorded activity in the volcano’s history. The earthquake swarm began on June 12 and has since then made a remarkable record of almost 2,500 earthquakes registered during the previous three and a half months in the western […]

(Natural News) Geologists warn that Tanzania’s most active volcano, Ol Doinyo Lengai, will erupt in the very near future. Archaically known as the “Mountain of God” by the Maasai people, Ol Doinyo Lengai will “explode imminently” and “poses a significant threat” to the surrounding areas, as reported on TheSun.co.uk. Scientists believe that an eruption could […]

(Natural News) There has been a lot of concern about the Yellowstone supervolcano over the past few weeks due to the nearly 1,000 small earthquakes recently detected in the region. It is true that if the Yellowstone caldera blows, it would blanket much of North America with up to three feet of ash, devastating the […]

(Natural News) You don’t have to be a geologist to understand that an earthquake in the vicinity of a volcano could be a disaster waiting to happen, but what if there were nearly 900 quakes near a supervolcano? That is the situation that is playing out right now in Yellowstone National Park, where 878 earthquakes […]

(Natural News) Current hazard models on earthquakes may be less informative than we believe. A new study published in the journal Science concludes that earthquakes may be causing more extensive damage than previously thought. Researchers of the study revealed that the massive 7.8 earthquake that struck New Zealand in November 2016 might have been the most complex earthquake […]

(Natural News) Earthquakes are a rare event in a tectonically peaceful region like Pennsylvania. However, fracking operations triggered a series of small shivers that took place last year, state officials of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced in a recent report. While they were too weak to be felt by humans (they ranged from […]

(Natural News) An animated earthquake map video produced by the U.S. NWS Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) shows every recorded earthquake between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2015, – the first 15 years of the 21st century. The amazing and somewhat terrifying animation proceeds at a rate of 30 days per second, and reveals […]
