A magnitude 3.4 earthquake hit the Fontana area Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The Inland Empire quake was centered just under five miles northwest of Fontana, the agency said.
It was two-fifths of a mile northwest from the epicenter of a magnitude 3.4 earthquake that rumbled on June 2, and about one-quarter of a mile west of a magnitude 2.8 earthquake that struck on June 4.
The Modified Mercalli intensity scale (MM, MMI, or MCS) measures the effects of an earthquake at a given location. This is in contrast with the seismic magnitude usually reported for an earthquake. Magnitude scales measure the inherent force or strength of an earthquake – an event occurring at greater or lesser depth. (The "M w" scale is ...
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 shook the southern California city of Malibu and other parts of the Los Angeles region, the U.S. Geological Survey said on Thursday, but there ...
Charleston, SC Earthquake – 1886. South Carolina earthquakes occur with the greatest frequency along the central coastline of the state, in the Charleston area. South Carolina is the most seismically active state on the east coast. [1] At 7.3 magnitude, the Charleston earthquake of 1886 was the largest quake to ever hit the Eastern United ...
The list incorporates high-quality earthquake source (i.e., origin time, location and earthquake magnitude) and fatality information from several sources. Earthquake locations are taken from the Centennial Catalog [ 1 ] and the updated Engdahl, van der Hilst and Buland earthquake catalog, [ 2 ] which is complete to December 2005.
Some aftershocks were reported, including a 2.8 magnitude earthquake that was centered nearby. More than an hour later, a 3.4 shook a little farther away from the city, followed by another 2.8 and ...
The earthquake ruptured an area of about 120 mi × 60 mi (193 km × 97 km), equal to about 7,200 sq mi (19,000 km 2). The estimated maximum slip along this fault surface was about 3 to 4 m (9.8 to 13.1 ft). [30] The earthquake appears to have only partially ruptured the Shumagin segment of the subduction zone, at 75%.
