Ecuador may be a relatively small country, but it sits in one of the most tectonically active regions in the world. The same forces that created the Andes Mountains and volcanic landscapes also generate frequent earthquakes beneath the country. What makes Ecuador...

Afghanistan experiences earthquakes in a way that’s slightly different from many other countries. Here, you don’t just get shallow earthquakes — you also get deep earthquakes, especially beneath the Hindu Kush mountains. That combination makes seismic activity in...

Pakistan sits at a unique geological crossroads. Instead of relying on one tectonic process, the country is shaped by three different earthquake mechanisms happening at the same time — collision, subduction, and fault movement. That’s what makes earthquakes here both...
