Southern California lies at the southern end of this block, where the Southern California faults create a complex and even chaotic landscape of seismic activity. Seismic, geologic, and other data has been integrated by the Southern California Earthquake Center to produce the Community Fault Model (CFM) database that documents over 140 faults in ...
San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is a continental right-lateral strike-slip transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through the U.S. state of California. [1] It forms part of the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. Traditionally, for scientific purposes, the fault has been ...
Map showing the San Jacinto Fault Zone outlined in red. The San Jacinto Fault Zone (SJFZ) is a major strike-slip fault zone that runs through San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, and Imperial Counties in Southern California. The SJFZ is a component of the larger San Andreas transform system and is considered to be the most seismically active ...
In Southern California, the last major earthquake on the San Andreas fault was in 1857, estimated at somewhere around a magnitude 7.8. But even moderate quakes along the Puente Hills thrust fault ...
The Calaveras Fault is a major branch of the San Andreas Fault System that is located in northern California in the San Francisco Bay Area. Activity on the different segments of the fault includes moderate and large earthquakes as well as aseismic creep. The last large event was the magnitude 6.2 1984 Morgan Hill event.
On July 27, 2022, at 8:43:24 a.m. , an earthquake struck the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.0 M w , with an epicenter in Abra province. [4] [5] Eleven people were reported dead and 615 were injured. At least 35,798 homes, schools and other buildings were damaged or destroyed, resulting in ₱1.88 billion ...
The Puente Hills thrust fault system is the same overall fault network that produced the 1987 Whittier Narrows magnitude 5.9 earthquake, which killed eight people and caused some $358 million in ...
The Philippine archipelago is bounded by subduction zones which makes the region volcanically active. The most active volcano in the Philippines is the Mayon Volcano located in southeastern Luzon. [36] It is related to the subduction of Philippine Sea Plate beneath the Philippine Mobile Belt. [4] Earthquakes (mag >6.0) in the Philippines (2019)
