Different forces are tearing the western U.S. apart. Which ones are most important?

In Western Antarctica, the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf cracks and calves. One of these rifting events was observed via seismic sensors, demonstrating that while the tear was slower than expected, it’s still the fastest through-cutting fracture in a floating ice shelf ever recorded.

GPS stations augment seismometers, significantly improving the system’s ability to accurately detect the largest earthquakes.
