According to a separate group’s paper published in the same journal, the southern portion of the rupture occurred at an ...

On March 28, Myanmar was rocked by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that claimed over 5,000 lives and caused damage even in ...

The first studies of the 28 March 2025 magnitude 7.8 Myanmar earthquake suggest that the southern portion of its rupture ...

Seismologists reveal that the March 28, 2025, Myanmar earthquake likely moved at 'supershear' velocity, which is analogous to ...

The devastating magnitude 7.7 earthquake, which struck Myanmar on Friday, killing over 2,800 people and leaving thousands more injured, was caused by a rare “supershear” rupture that moved ...

Supershear earthquakes are more likely to happen along long, mature faults like the San Andreas, where many years of activity have ground away a lot of the twists and bumps that might slow down an ...

Inchworm-like source evolution through a geometrically complex fault fueled persistent supershear rupture during the 2018 Palu Indonesia earthquake. Earth and Planetary Science Letters , 2020; 547 ...

About 14% of magnitude 6.7 or greater strike-slip earthquakes since 2000 have been supershear. That's 50% more than previously thought. Supershear earthquakes occur when a fault ruptures faster ...

A devastating and violent type of earthquake once thought to be rare is actually much more common than previously thought, according to researchers at UCLA. They’re called supershear earthqua… ...

Powerful supershear earthquakes, once considered rare, are much more common than previously thought, according to a study led by UCLA geophysicists and published today in Nature Geoscience. The ...

New research finds that violent supershear earthquakes are more common than previously believed, particularly along mature strike-slip faults like the San Andreas.
