WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will address U.S. senators by video Tuesday during a classified briefing as the Biden administration urges Congress to approve the White House’s nearly $106 billion request for funds for the wars in Ukraine, Israel and other security needs.Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Zelenskyy’s appearance after the administration Monday sent an urgent warning about the need to approve the military and economic assistance to Ukraine, saying Kyiv’s war effort to defend itself from Russia’s invasion may grind to a halt without it.Schumer said the administration had invited Zelenskyy to address the senators so they “could hear directly from him precisely what’s at stake.” They will also be hearing from the secretaries of Defense, State and other top national security officials.In a letter to House and Senate leaders and released publicly, Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda...

(CNN) — Luego de terremotos muy fuertes se suele esperar que ocurran réplicas en las horas y días siguientes, pero es posible que, casi 200 años después, aún se estén produciendo réplicas de algunos de los sismos más intensos en la historia de Estados Unidos, según una nueva investigación.Las frecuentes réplicas derivadas de tres terremotos que ocurrieron cerca de la frontera entre Missouri y Kentucky entre 1811 y 1812, y un terremoto distinto en Charleston, Carolina del Sur, en 1886, probablemente continúan hoy en día, según un estudio publicado recientemente en el Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth.Una de las regiones en las que se enfocaron los investigadores, llamada zona sísmica de New Madrid, abarca el área de la actual ciudad de Memphis y el área circundante del valle medio del río Mississippi, mientras que la la otra incluye Charleston y la llanura costera que lo rodea. La actividad sísmica en estas regiones relativamente estables de Norteamérica no se compre...
