Further examinations revealed that electricity generated during earthquakes could form nuggets inside quartz veins, according to Earth.com. This process happens due to piezoelectricity, which causes the positive and negative charges in the quartz to separate when the item is bent,

The extreme catastrophic nature of earthquakes is known for centuries due to resulted devastation in many of them. The abruptness along with apparent

Previously, the prevailing theory was that gold was carried by hot fluids flowing through fractures in rock. However, considering that the dissolved gold concentration is usually very small, this mechanism did not completely explain the existence of large gold nuggets within quartz.

Most earthquakes occur when a geological fault, a fracture within the Earth’s crust, slips and releases energy. Individual faults, some of which form the tectonic plate boundaries, build up strain over decades and centuries to eventually break in large ...

Why do some earthquakes release more energy than others? A research team led by Prof. Dr. Armin Dielforder from the University of Greifswald has managed to demonstrate a clear physical connection between the energy released during earthquakes and the strength of rocks deep in the Earth's crust.

Since early November, a series of earthquakes with a magnitude between 2-3 has been occurring in the southern region of Bandung Regency in Indonesia.

As Ndlula, Umngani and Khosi felt the ground rattle beneath them, the mighty African elephants sprung into action — forming a tight circle around their youngsters in a moving display of protective instinct in the face of Monday's earthquake. The ...
