Caltech researchers now say those two earthquakes, which were felt throughout Southern California and in Nevada, weren't produced by just one fault – they were the result of 20 or more faults releasing energy seconds apart. Nov 15, 2019 Several Earthquakes Shake Ridgecrest, Bay Area The...
more than 1,500 miles away created what experts have called a "desert tsunami," which on Monday made waves erupt up to 4 feet high in the cave known as Devils Hole, a pool of water about 10 feet wide, 70 feet long and more than 500 feet deep, in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. The...

there have been more than 1000 earthquakes in California and Nevada over the last week, but of course most of them have been very small. Overall, the latest USGS numbers tell us that there have beenmore than 2,000 earthquakesnationally during the last 7 days, and apparently we aren’t sup...

The ShakeAlert system is operational statewide in California, Oregon and Washington, with plans underway to extend it into Nevada, said geophysics professor Allen Husker, head of the Southern California Seismic Network at Caltech. On the C Line (formerly the Green Line) Metro train heading west ...
theRichter magnitude scalewas created. Developed in 1935 by Charles Richter, this scale uses a seismometer to measure the magnitude of the largest jolt of energy released by an earthquake. Today, the moment magnitude scale has replaced the Richter scale. Themoment magnitude scalemeasures the total...
