The 2015 Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 3, or UCERF3, is the latest official earthquake rupture forecast (ERF) for the state of California, superseding UCERF2. It provides authoritative estimates of the likelihood and severity of potentially damaging earthquake ruptures in the long- and near-term.
A 2008 paper, studying past earthquakes along the Pacific coastal zone, found a correlation in time between seismic events on the northern San Andreas Fault and the southern part of the Cascadia subduction zone (which stretches from Vancouver Island to Northern California). Scientists believe quakes on the Cascadia subduction zone may have ...
A fault off the Pacific coast could devastate Washington, Oregon and Northern California with a major earthquake and tsunami. Researchers mapped it comprehensively for the first time.
There have been just under 40 earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 or larger in the past century within 150 miles of Thursday’s earthquake, which was the most powerful to rattle the state since a 7.1 ...
The fault runs offshore along the West Coast from Northern California to northern Vancouver Island in Canada. It is capable of producing magnitude-9.0 earthquakes and tsunami waves about 100 feet ...
This is a list of earthquakes in 2025. Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in significant damage and/or casualties. All dates are listed according to UTC time. The maximum intensities are based on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale. Earthquake magnitudes are based on data from the USGS.
Aftershocks continued Friday after a strong earthquake that prompted a tsunami warning for parts of the U.S. West Coast Thursday. "At this time, there have been 59 earthquakes of magnitude three ...
A damaging magnitude 7 interplate earthquake occurred on the Seattle Fault around 900–930 CE [14] that generated 3 meters of uplift and a 4-5 meter tsunami. [15] A substantial number of forearc interplate earthquakes also occur in northern California. [13]
