The fault has a slip rate of approximately 0.6 mm (0.024 in)/year [1] and is predicted to be capable of a 6.0–7.4 [1] magnitude earthquake on the moment magnitude scale. A 2017 study concluded that, together, the Newport–Inglewood Fault and Rose Canyon Fault could produce an earthquake of 7.3 or 7.4 magnitude. [2] The fault was first ...
M la is a local magnitude that is equivalent to M L (Richter magnitude scale) and is used for events that occurred prior to the instrumental period. It is based on the area of perceptibility (as presented on isoseismal maps). M w = moment magnitude scale and M s = surface wave magnitude.

A 3.2-magnitude earthquake shook the Bay Area in Northern California, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.. The nearly 6-mile-deep quake hit about 4 miles east of Fremont at 9:35 a.m. on Thursday ...
An average of 25 earthquakes with magnitudes between 4.0 and 5.0 occur per year in California and Nevada, according to a recent three-year data sample. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 5.6 miles.
A magnitude 3.5 earthquake was reported Sunday morning near South Pasadena. The temblor hit at 9:55 a.m. and was centered in the El Sereno area, just south of South Pasadena.
The San Jacinto Fault Zone (SJFZ) is a major strike-slip fault zone that runs through San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, and Imperial Counties in Southern California. The SJFZ is a component of the larger San Andreas transform system and is considered to be the most seismically active fault zone in the area.
The magnitude 5.7 Little Skull Mountain (LSM) earthquake the following day, June 29, 1992, at 10:14 UTC near Yucca Mountain, Nevada, is also considered part of the regional sequence and may have been triggered by surface wave energy produced by the Landers earthquake. Foreshock activity, in the form of a significant increase in micro ...
