According to the US Geological Survey, two earthquakes that struck Venezuela in quick succession on June 24 ranked as the second- and seventh-strongest earthquakes worldwide this year.

A new US Geological Survey research suggests a vast deposit of approximately 2.3 million tons of lithium oxide may be hidden beneath the Appalachian Mountains. This discovery could significantly impact the balance of electric vehicle development.

Several countries, including the United States, Japan, and China, utilize early earthquake warning systems that alert millions of people seconds before seismic activity, as reported by the US Geological Survey.

A new study by the US Geological Survey estimates 2.3 million metric tons of undiscovered, economically recoverable lithium in the Appalachian region, enough to power 500 billion phones.
