That makes Los Angeles rent nearly 1.5 times the national average. Plus, Los Angeles is short 500,000 housing units , according to the County of Los Angeles Homeless Initiative .
The probability of a serious earthquake on various faults has been estimated in the 2008 Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast. According to the United States Geological Survey, Southern California experiences nearly 10,000 earthquakes every year. [3] Details on specific faults can be found in the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database.
A magnitude 4.2 earthquake was felt widely across the nation's second largest city Friday and shook things off shelves near the epicenter in a small mountain community east of Los Angeles, but ...
The magnitude 4.4 earthquake that rattled Los Angeles on Monday was centered within one of the region's most potentially destructive fault systems, one capable of producing a magnitude 7.5 ...
The Puente Hills Fault (also known as the Puente Hills Thrust Fault System) is an active geological fault that is located in the Los Angeles Basin in California. The thrust fault was discovered in 1999 and runs about 40 km (25 mi) in three discrete sections from the Puente Hills region in the southeast to just south of Griffith Park in the ...
Thrust faulting in the northern Los Angeles basin occurs in response to north–south crustal shortening. [14] The fault responsible for the earthquake represented a component of a larger system of faults within the 160 km (99 mi) "Big Bend" stepover of the San Andreas Fault. Crustal compression occurs along this bend of the San Andreas Fault.
A simulation of a plausible major southern San Andreas fault earthquake — a magnitude 7.8 that begins near the Mexican border along the fault plane and unzips all the way to L.A. County's ...
A 4.4 magnitude earthquake was strongly felt Monday afternoon from the Los Angeles area all the way to San Diego, swaying buildings, rattling dishes and setting off car alarms, but no major damage ...
