Two earthquakes, magnitudes 3.4 and 3.2, shook western NSW, Australia. The larger tremor near the Newmont Cadia Gold Mine caused temporary suspension of underground operations for safety inspections, marking the second disruption in nine weeks. No injuries were reported.
Two earthquakes, a magnitude-3.4 near Orange and a magnitude-3.2 near Wilcannia, have shaken western NSW within 150 minutes. The Orange quake occurred at the Newmont Cadia Gold Mine, with 100 people reporting feeling it, while only two felt the Wilcannia tremor.
A 6.7 magnitude earthquake hit Indonesia's central Sulawesi Island on Tuesday, east-southeast of Palu. While no immediate casualties or damage were reported, hospitals evacuated patients and some structures showed damage. Indonesia is located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire."
US Democratic lawmakers met with Puerto Rican mayors to address concerns about slow recovery from hurricanes and earthquakes. They pledged to push for faster reimbursements and project approvals, citing issues with federal funding disbursement and FEMA staffing.
US Democratic lawmakers met with Puerto Rican mayors to address concerns about slow recovery from hurricanes and earthquakes. They pledged to expedite reimbursements and project approvals, citing issues with FEMA staffing and past policy delays. Despite billions allocated, significant funds remain undisbursed due to ongoing challenges.
The 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquakes significantly altered the Mississippi River and its surrounding landscape. The seismic events caused ground uplift and subsidence, leading to temporary river reversals and the formation of Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee.

A new study suggests the Khufu Pyramid in Giza, Egypt, may have been designed to withstand earthquakes. Researchers found that the pyramid's internal structure distributes mechanical stress evenly, and its frequency differs from surrounding soil, potentially preventing vibration amplification during seismic events.
A new scientific analysis of the event shows tiny earthquakes triggered a massive landslide.
