Most of the recorded glacial earthquakes were discovered along the coast of Greenland, the largest ice cap in the Northern Hemisphere. Although scientists assumed that glacial earthquakes take place in Antarctica as well, they have been much harder to detect because they are of much lower magnitude than those that occur in Greenland.

Glacial earthquakes are rocking the Doomsday Glacier in Antarctica. Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake generated in cold, icy regions. First discovered in the northern hemisphere more than 20 years ago, these quakes occur when huge chunks of ice fall from glaciers into the sea.

The quakes come as California sees the effects of an atmospheric river that has caused flash flooding, rescues, and landslides.

When Texas Started Shaking More Than California In 2023, Texas and California were nearly tied for the number of magnitude 3 and larger earthquakes, which is honestly kind of wild when you think about it.

A deep earthquake in Chile surprised scientists by using heat to grow stronger far underground and cause serious surface shaking.

No reports of major injuries or structural damage have emerged, and authorities have not issued a tsunami warning.

Two earthquakes, one near Union City and another in southern Kansas, shook residents across Oklahoma Friday morning.

A series of earthquakes struck near San Ramon on Sunday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey.

Areas of Perthshire and the western Highlands, southern parts of Wales, and Yorkshire and Lancashire saw the most seismic activity, British Geological Survey data shows.

Park officials tracked earthquakes, volcanic activity, and one statistic no one plans for: the hats visitors leave behind.
