The earthquake's worst effects are being reported in nearby Turkey, where officials say four people are dead and at least 12 buildings destroyed or damaged in the city of Izmir.

The earthquake struck north of Néon Karlovásion, a town on the Greek island of Samos. Overall, the population in this region resides in structures that are extremely vulnerable to earthquake shaking, though some resistant structures exist. The predominant vulnerable building types are unreinforced brick masonry and low-rise nonductile concrete frame with infill construction.

Around the world, seismologists are observing a lot less ambient seismic noise -- meaning, the vibrations generated by cars, trains, buses and people going about their daily lives. And in the absence of that noise, Earth's upper crust is moving just a little less.

Cantabrians might have been affected by decades of earthquakes in more ways than they realize.

February 22nd marks the 9th anniversary of the 2011 Christchurch Earthquake in New Zealand.

Researchers are part-way through a two-year study into whether the earthquake affected the way that people process fear in their brains. They are investigating whether brain changes, both in structure and how information is processed, may have taken place.

The undersea continent of Zealandia has undergone changes in its 85-million-year lifetime.

An analysis of core samples drilled from the ocean floor below the Tasman Sea in 2017 reveals that Zealandia underwent dramatic changes between 35 - 50 million years ago, which coincided with the birth of the Ring of Fire.

Puerto Rico's January earthquakes came after many foreshocks and have been followed by numerous aftershocks. Scientists are studying these sequences to improve earthquake forecasting.

During an earthquake sequence, the frequency and magnitudes of earthquakes following the mainshock event (the largest quake in the sequence) declines in a way that can be modeled statistically.
