The USGS maintains several monitoring instruments around the country for known fault lines and volcanos. Data from these measurements is transmitted in real-time to researchers in California.
What The USGS Earthquake Map Tells Us The color-coded map shows a range of earthquake probability across the U.S. Well known high-risk areas, such as California and Alaska, are coded in dark red ...
The Ramapo Fault has been blamed for several past earthquakes, but the specific association of any significant earthquake with this fault has yet to be demonstrated. [6] A damaging earthquake affecting New York City in 1884 was incorrectly argued to be caused by the Ramapo fault, likely because it is the most prominent mapped fault in the ...
The fault that ruptured beneath New Jersey on Friday morning was likely an ancient, sleeping seam in the Earth, awakened by geologic forces in a region where earthquakes are rare and seismic risks ...

The USGS proposed two finite fault models: one depicting rupture on a northwest-trending fault with a shallow west-southwest dip, and the other on an east-northeast fault with a near-vertical dip. Both rupture models indicated a maximum slip of 3 m (9.8 ft). [8] Shaking was estimated to have lasted for around 30 seconds. [9]
A map by the California Geological Survey shows faults near the Lake Almanor area in Plumas County, where a magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck Thursday, May 11, 2023, followed by a magnitude 5.2 ...
