The magnitude 7.7 earthquake which struck Myanmar this morning has been detected by seismic instruments stationed in Ireland.

The seismic event highlights Myanmar’s vulnerability to earthquakes, largely due to its location along the Sagaing Fault, a major tectonic boundary between the Indian Plate and the Burma microplate.

This is the conclusion of an international team of researchers from Brazil and Japan, whose modeling links solar and seismic activity via ... Pictured: a map of the earthquake data analyzed ...

While seismic activity is natural, the most earthquake-prone cities in the world are usually built on unstable ground or near tectonic boundaries and face heightened risks. Below, we’ve rounded ...

In recent years, research has focused on a possible correlation between the sun or moon and seismic activity on Earth, with some studies pointing to tidal forces or electromagnetic effects ...
