Work to reinstate an earthquake-ravaged New Zealand church has been called off after funding ran dry, almost 14 years after the building was left in ruins. The reinstatement of the Christ Church Cathedral in central Christchurch would now be paused, the Anglican Diocese said on Tuesday. The distinctive Gothic-style cathedral has been closed since it was destroyed in the earthquakes of 2011. Originally earmarked for demolition, the church was saved after a public campaign in 2017. Reconstruction began in 2020 but costs have more than doubled since 2017 estimates to about $219 million New Zealan...

Russia’s Shiveluch volcano erupted on Sunday, spewing plumes of ash 5 kilometres (3 miles) into the sky over the far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula and briefly triggering a “code red” warning for aircraft. The volcano, one of Russia's most active, began sputtering shortly after a powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck off Kamchatka’s east coast early Sunday, according to volcanologists from the Russian Academy of Sciences. An even more potent earthquake may be on the way, according to the volcanologists. The academy’s Institute of Volcanology and Seismology released a video showing the ash clou...

However, the quake prompted seismologists to hold an emergency meeting in which they reassessed and raised the level of risk of major quakes associated with the Nankai Trough east of s...

New York (AFP) - Was it God feeling angry? A dire portent? Or perhaps Joe Biden's superhero alter ego pursuing Donald Trump? Many were reluctant to admit that the 4.8 magnitude earthquake rattling New York on Friday was just an unimpressive little shake. This is New York after all. And with a rare total eclipse set to blot out the sun up the eastern United States on Monday, some are already looking for answers. "God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come," Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene -- a noted conspiracy ...

The National Emergency Management Agency, however in a tweet, clarified the reports of Tsunami warnings to the country and denied its possibility mention...

By Hera Rizwan As Turkey and Syria deal with the aftermath of a deadly earthquake which hit the countries earlier this month and killed thousands of people, the answer to the question 'how prone is India to earthquakes?' is being sought. According to the Ministry of Earth Sciences, approximately 59% of India's land mass is vulnerable to earthquakes of varying magnitude. Cities and towns in eight states and union territories are in seismic zone-5 and are vulnerable to the most powerful earthquakes. Even the National Capital Region is classified as zone-4, the second-highest level. Also Read:Why...
