Most earthquakes in the state have been small or have produced minimal impacts. No earthquake-related fatalities have been reported in the state, though one earthquake in Texas caused a death in the neighboring Mexican state of Chihuahua in 1923. The earliest recorded earthquake in Texas occurred near Seguin and New Braunfels on February 13 ...
] Fault or Balcones Fault Zone is an area of largely normal faulting [1] in the U.S. state of Texas that runs roughly from the southwest part of the state near Del Rio to the north-central region near Dallas [2] along Interstate 35. The Balcones Fault zone is made up of many smaller features, including normal faults, grabens, and horsts. [3]
The US Geological Survey recently mapped all the places that are most likely to be damaged by human-induced earthquakes in 2016. These 6 states are the most at risk of a human-caused earthquake ...
Texas has seen surging interest from companies hoping to bury carbon dioxide in its oilfields, putting the state at the vanguard of a government-subsidized program to fight climate change.
Nearly two months after the last notable earthquake, Lubbock and West Texas felt tremors from a 5.1-magnitude earthquake in Martin County Monday night. Here is what we know.
Earthquakes in the New Madrid and Wabash Valley seismic zones from 1974 to 2002, with magnitudes larger than 2.5. The zone had four of the largest earthquakes in recorded North American history, with moment magnitudes estimated to be as large as 7 or greater, all occurring within a 3-month period between December 1811 and February 1812. Many of ...
A report released Monday by the USGS found that man-made earthquakes have increased more than ten times over in parts of the central United States.
