Is a magnitude 12 earthquake possible?
The magnitude scale is open-ended, meaning that scientists have not put a limit on how large an earthquake could be, but there is a limit just from the size of the earth. A magnitude 12 earthquake would require a fault larger than the earth itself.

Do small earthquakes mean a big one is coming?
Small cluster of earthquakes may be warning sign of larger one to come, researcher says. Most earthquakes we feel come after smaller ones. That’s according to a new study as scientists try to predict when and where earthquakes might occur. Here’s what researchers have learned.
