A new study finds that a portion of the Earth's crust in central Nevada is still quietly reeling from a series of temblors that struck more than 50 years ago.
Between 1915 and 1954, four large events with magnitudes ranging from 6.8 to 7.6 struck an earthquake-prone region of central Nevada. Using satellite data, researchers showed that the ground is still shifting and rising as it searches for a state of equilibrium.
