Probably the world s most famous fault line is the San Andreas Fault that runs through California down the west coast of the United States. It makes large cities in the region, like Los Angeles, vulnerable to damage from earthquakes.

In part 1 of INET's interview with Raghuram Rajan he connects rising inequality and debt, government stimulus programs, and international capital mobility to explain the crisis and fragility in the world economy. About international...

If you take a look at a map of Scotland, you'll notice an eerily straight line running through the highlands, this is the Great Glen Fault the product of half a billion years of time and geology.

Unpack the geological processes that cause earthquakes, from the structure of the Earth's layers to the movement of tectonic plates. Understand the types of plate boundaries and the phenomena of seismic waves and fault lines, which...

Get in the festive mood with our showstopping Christmas fault-line cake. See how to decorate this masterpiece with our senior food editor, Cassie Best.

This video explains the devastating impact of earthquakes and the connection to fault lines. It specifically focuses on the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, a deadly natural disaster, caused by a powerful earthquake beneath the ocean. The...

Where and when an earthquake will strike remains one of geology's greatest mysteries. Could modern science ever predict them? Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. Where and when an earthquake will strike remains a mystery. Most...

The earth below our feet is continually moving. How do changes underground lead to effects on the surface, and what happens to change these movements into devastating earthquakes? Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. Movement of...

Cities near fault lines are at high risk of earthquakes. Can earthquakes be predicted, and how can these communities prepare for the worst? Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. Cities near fault lines are at high risk of...

The 5.8-magnitude quake that occurred in Virginia was felt up and down the Eastern United States and even in Canada. In contrast, a similar magnitude earthquake on the West Coast would be felt more locally. Geologists say this difference...

The video explains the San Andreas Fault, which is a geological feature in North America. It shows a line that represents the fault and explains that it is a break between different areas of rock where movement has occurred, resulting in...

“Earthquakes” explains how the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates can result in earthquakes.

Tsunamis are huge volumes of moving water that become monstrous waves when they hit the coast. What causes them and how do they grow to be so dangerous? Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. Tsunamis are massive volumes of moving...

We think we know how mountains form. Plate tectonics causes rock to be pushed up at fault boundaries. Except that model is hard to prove, and a new study suggests it might actually be a lot more complicated.

In this video, students will learn what happens when stresses build up in rocks along a fault and what happens when these stresses are released. Viewers will come to understand how these stresses relate to earthquakes and how they can be...

Near Nairobi, Kenya, the ground split to reveal part of the network of fault lines that make up Africa's Great Rift Valley. ➡ Subscribehttp://bit.ly/NatGeoSubscribe' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Subscribe About National Geographic:...

Here on SciShow, we’ve talked quite a bit about how difficult it is to predict earthquakes, and how we prepare for them. So today, let’s take a tour of earthquake science!

A giant sinkhole measuring about 650 feet long and up to 100 feet wide opened up in the ground on New Zealand's North Island. The hole, which runs along a fault line, appeared after heavy rains in the area. Layers of geological history...

Earthquakes have the power to devastate entire communities—a little advanced notice could make a world of difference with an impending earthquake. So why can't they be predicted? Join Rose Bear Don't Walk for a new episode of SciShow,...

In this brief scene from "The Taming of the Shrew" Act 1, Scene 2, Gremio confirms that arrangements have been made as planned and inquires of Hortensio whether he has fully informed Lucentio about all of Bianca's faults. This snippet...

In this video, we learn all about earthquakes. Below our feet is the Earth's surface, made of tectonic plates. Those plates are always moving and shifting and sometimes, this movements causes big shaking! Earthquakes can cause changes in...
