Look up quakes! | ||
California has about 10-15 quakes every day. Most of them are too small to be felt by humans, although there is usually one or two that are.
Typically there are 1-2 quakes of magnitudes greater than 3 every day. Quakes of magnitude 4+ occur about once every 5 days on average.
Magnitude 5+ events are about once every 2 months, and strong quakes from magnitude 6+ occur on average once every 4-5 months.
California is located near the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. In the area of California, it is called a transform boundary, because the movement of the two plates is mostly a side-wise sliding alongside each other. The Pacific Plate is moving northwest relative to the North American plate, at a rate of approx. 33-37 millimeters (1.3-1.5 in) per year on average.
This creates a complex system of very active fault systems, the most prominent being the San Andreas Fault, which runs for roughly 750 mi (1,200 km) through California. However, there are also many other faults including some found directly underneath the State's major cities including L.A. and San Francisco.
The last earthquake in California occurred 2 hours and 1 minutes ago: Minor mag. 1.7 earthquake - 6km SSW of Redlands, CA, on Wednesday, Mar 22, 2023 at 11:29 pm (GMT -7).
In the past 48 hours, California, USA had 56 quakes up to magnitude 4.5.
The strongest earthquake in California in the past 48 hours occurred 1 day 9 hours ago: Moderate mag. 4.5 earthquake - North Pacific Ocean, 21 mi southwest of Eureka, Humboldt County, California, USA, on Tuesday, Mar 21, 2023 at 4:18 pm (GMT -7).
