- Remotely triggered earthquakes - Remotely triggered earthquakes have also been characterized as 'The very long reach of very large earthquakes' "Once thought to be isolated in both time and space, the “reach” of large earthquakes—their impact on not only the surrounding region but also the planet as a whole—is now known to be far longer, and far more interesting, than scientists realized just a ...
- Intraplate earthquake - Intraplate earthquakes are earthquakes that occur within tectonic plates, whereas interplate earthquakes occur at plate boundaries. Although the theory of plate tectonics well describes the mechanisms for interplate earthquakes, very large intraplate earthquakes can inflict heavy damage on towns and cities.
- San Jose Earthquakes (NASL) - The San Jose Earthquakes was a professional soccer club that played from 1974 to 1984 in the North American Soccer League. The team was known as the Golden Bay Earthquakes from 1983 to 1984, and resurfaced (once again as the San Jose Earthquakes) in the Western Soccer Alliance from 1985 to 1988.
- Kamchatka earthquakes - The Kamchatka earthquakes were a pair of megathrust earthquakes occurring off the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula, in Russia on October 16, 1737, and on November 4, 1952, with resulting tsunamis following. Both earthquakes occurred at approximately the same location where the Pacific Plate subducts the Okhotsk Plate at the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench.
- 2002 Hindu Kush earthquakes - The 2002 Hindu Kush earthquakes were two earthquakes which hit the Hindu Kush mountain range area in Afghanistan on March 3 and March 25 2002.
