The causes of volcanism in the middle of tectonic plates are hotly debated. Intraplate volcanism, away from obvious magma sources such as spreading ocean ridges or subducting plate margins ...

Intraplate earthquakes occur away from tectonic plate boundaries: their locations are difficult to predict, risking huge damage and loss of life. The 2001 Bhuj earthquake (featured in this book) was ...

Although this event did not occur near a plate boundary, such 'intraplate' earthquakes can and do occur. While this earthquake is relatively small globally, earthquakes of this magnitude are ...

Given the location of the earthquake, it’s likely that the event was an intraplate quake. Most of the time, earthquakes occur along convergent boundaries where tectonic plates border each other.

Last Friday’s temblor was one of these “intraplate” events, and it serves as a reminder as to why the involved region is capable of some shaking. “Although there is not an active plate ...

But there was always 5% to 10% that were far from any boundary area. We call these intraplate earthquakes. They are caused by stress triggering a fault slip and produce the same types of seismic ...

Patterson says we can’t be certain of when it will happen, but a big earthquake is projected to hit the New Madrid Seismic Zone – an abundant source of intraplate earthquakes in the Southern ...

Intraplate controls are essential to the establishment of the assay window (as described above), and over the course of a screen they permit the analysis of the uniformity of the biological response.

Research is focused on topics such as lithospheric structure and intraplate seismicity. At present, the network is comprised of over thirty permanent stations located throughout Finland and the ...

His rationale was that the the temblor was believed to be an oceanic intraplate earthquake. Yusuke Yamashita, an assistant professor of seismology with Kyoto University’s Research Center for ...

Previous studies have shown that unloading can impact the seismic stress field several hundred kilometers from the ice sheet margin, thus expanding the possibility of intraplate earthquake activity.” ...
