The Yorba Linda Fault or Yorba Linda Trend [1] is a fault system that transects the Whittier Fault and extends from northeast Yorba Linda, California to the southeastern portion of the Chino Hills and Chino Hills (city), in San Bernardino County, California.

The Chino Hills earthquake was caused by oblique-slip faulting, with components of both thrust and sinistral strike-slip displacement. [3] Preliminary reports cited the Whittier Fault as the active cause, but the quake was later determined to have been generated by the "Yorba Linda trend," as identified by Caltech seismologist Egill Hauksson.

New York City has its own share of faults (beyond the rats and street garbage problem). A series of small fault lines run underneath the city, one from west Central Park to east downtown and ...
Since 1957, the USGS has logged 188 earthquakes with a magnitude of 2.5 or higher that have occurred within a 250-mile radius of New York City. The earthquake on Friday had the third-highest ...
In top figure, closed red circles show 1924–2006 epicenters. Open black circles show larger earthquakes of 1737, 1783 and 1884. Green lines are the Ramapo fault. Seismicity of the New York City area is relatively low. [1] New York is less seismically active than California because it is far from any plate boundaries.
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 ...
Earthquake scenario is a planning tool to determine the appropriate emergency responses or building systems in areas exposed to earthquake hazards. It uses the basics of seismic hazard studies, but usually places a set earthquake on a specific fault, most likely near a high-population area.
