America's earthquake hotspot is more dangerous than feared as scientists make surprising discovery
Scientists studying Northern California have uncovered previously hidden fault lines, raising alarms that seismic risk in the region may be underestimated. For decades, the Mendocino triple junction ...
The Mendocino Triple Junction is the meeting point of three tectonic plates. Using data from tiny earthquakes, researchers at USGS, UC Davis and CU Boulder propose a new model for this seismic zone.
