Iain Stewart looks at some of the world's most dramatic earthquakes and reveals the stories and science behind them.

We discover why quakes can last 60 times longer on the moon than on earth; how one particular earthquake fault line can produce hallucinations; and how 1960s Cold War spying gave scientists a crucial clue to understanding them.
