A magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck off the east coast of Aomori Prefecture in Japan, prompting tsunami advisories for parts of Honshu and Hokkaido. Japan lies in a tectonically complex area at the intersection of four tectonic plates, making it a highly seismically active area.

The Earth is constantly being whispered to by natural signals, tiny electric and magnetic waves. By studying how these signals move, magnetotellurics helps scientists see underground. Metal-rich rocks or hot water let the signals flow easily. Dry, solid, or dense rock blocks or slows them.

Seismic Monitor provides a map of the latest earthquakes in near-real time. Earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 or greater are shown as colored circles, where the size of the circle tells you the magnitude of the quake, and the color indicates the age of the earthquake.

For two decades, GPS station P056 in Porterville, California has been steadily tracking the ground moving down. Since its installation, the ground has subsided over 3.5 feet. Located in central California’s San Joaquin Valley, P056 records subsidence driven by long-term groundwater overpumping.
