Despite North Korea ceasing nuclear tests in 2017, the area remains an earthquake hot spot. Research indicates these tests awakened fault lines that point toward a large volcano located on the border with China. The seismic activity follows a period of roughly 2,000 years of silence for these specific faults.Why it mattersSeismic instability in non-plate boundary areas is rare and typically requires extreme triggers. The reactivation of these faults provides a window into t
