Weird Nature and stormquakes: Hurricanes or strong storms can trigger seismic events in nearby oceans, report scientists
A study published in the Geophysical Research Letters suggests that hurricanes or even just really strong storms can trigger seismic events called “stormquakes” in the nearby ocean. Researchers from Florida State University (FSU), the University of California, San Diego and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts analyzed more than a decade of seismic and oceanographic records. They […]

Study: An earthquake in Oregon fault could rupture the surface
Researchers from Portland State University found that the Gales Creek fault in Oregon could unleash an earthquake of up to magnitude 7.4. The researchers dug a trench to study the fault and found evidence of three previous earthquakes in the last 9,000 years. Each earthquake was strong enough to rupture the surface. The researchers said that if […]

Caterpillar wears tower of its own molted heads to fend off predators
A caterpillar called the gum-leaf skeletonizer makes a tall hat out of its discarded heads to ward off predators. This two-centimeter Australian catterpillar is known for stacking its molted heads instead of discarding them. This creates a horn-like structure that protects the caterpillar from stink bugs and other predators. The creature has the scientific name of Uraba lugens and is also called the […]
