Scientists have solved the mystery of how earthquakes can occur 420 miles deep inside Earth, where extreme pressure and heat should make rock flow rather than break. The key is a mineral called olivine that transforms under pressure, creating conditions for earthquakes at impossible depths.

A light but rare 3.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of southern Maine on Monday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey, sending trembles across New England.
