New earthquake predictions for Oregon show a possible disaster more powerful than scientists had thought.
The U.S. Geological Survey published new nationwide hazard maps earlier this week and one of the changes centered on the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the Oregon Coast.
Worries about quakes along the coast have been bandied about for years. But new research shows evidence the entire subduction zone could shake all at once resulting in a 9.0 magnitude earthquake.
Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey say the new maps also show the potential for an earthquake beneath Portland. …

A 5.2-magnitude earthquake centered in southern Illinois rattled homes and skyscrapers across the Midwest early Friday, causing little damage but surprising residents unaccustomed to such a powerful temblor.
The quake — one of the strongest ever recorded in Illinois — occurred just before 4:37 a.m. and was centered six miles southeast of West Salem, Ill., and 45 miles west of Evansville, Ind.
Initially pegged as a 5.4 earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey revised its estimate to give it a value of 5.2.

Colombian authorities have issued a Volcano Warning as Nevado del Huila Erupts.
The Nevado del Huila, which is topped with a crown of ice, is Colombia’s third-highest peak at 18,484 feet. Located 170 miles southwest of Bogota, it became active again in March 2007 with a series of internal rumblings.
The Nevado del Huila volcano’s eruptions in 2007 were its first on record since Colombia was colonized by the Spanish 500 years ago.
There are about 10,000 people living in the area around the volcano.

Scientists listening to underwater microphones have detected an unusual swarm of earthquakes off central Oregon, something that often happens before a volcanic eruption - except there are no volcanoes in the area.
Scientists don’t know exactly what the earthquakes mean, but they could be the result of molten rock rumbling away from the recognized earthquake faults off Oregon, said Robert Dziak, a geophysicist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Oregon State University.
There have been more than 600 quakes over the past 10 days in a basin 150 miles southwest …

Seismic activity on the southern Cascadia Subduction fault may have triggered major earthquakes along the northern San Andreas Fault, according to new research published by the Bulletin of Seismological Society of America (BSSA). The research refines the recurrence rate for the southern portion of the Cascadia fault to approximately every 220 years for the last 3000 years.

Last year, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization’s world food index, dairy prices rose nearly 80 percent and grain 42 …

Satellite images show that a large hunk of Antarcticas Wilkins Ice Shelf has started to collapse in a fast-warming region of the continent, scientists said on Tuesday.
The area of collapse measured about 160 square miles 415 square km of the Wilkins Ice Shelf, according to satellite imagery from the University of Colorados National Snow and Ice Data Center.
The Wilkins Ice Shelf is a broad sheet of permanent floating ice that spans about 5,000 square miles 13,000 square km and is located on the southwest Antarctic Peninsula about 1,000 miles 1,600 …

High water pouring down the White River could cause historic flooding in cities along its path in eastern Arkansas, forecasters warned Sunday.
The river, one of many out of its banks across wide areas of the Midwest, could top levels recorded in a devastating flood 25 years ago, National Weather Service meteorologist John Robinson warned.
“There will be water going into areas where people have not seen it before, and may not be expecting to see high water,” Robinson wrote in an e-mail to reporters Sunday.
A tributary of the White River, the …
