The sequence destroyed churches and other buildings ...
Historical earthquakes is a list of significant earthquakes known to have occurred prior to the early 20th century. As the events listed here occurred before routine instrumental recordings — later followed by seismotomography imaging technique [1] and detections using space satellites from outer space [2] — they rely mainly on the analysis of written sources, observations of shaking ...
The July 2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes consist of three main shocks of magnitudes 6.4, 5.4, and 7.1, each followed by a flurry of aftershocks of substantially lower magnitude. The aftershocks of the Ridgecrest earthquakes reveal two fault zones. The July 4 M 6.4 event (orange dot) occurred on the SW-NE fault where it intersects the NW-SE oriented ...
The 1990 Luzon earthquake occurred on July 16 at 4:26 p.m. ( PDT) or 3:26 p.m. ( PST) on the densely populated island of Luzon in the Philippines. The shock had a surface wave magnitude of 7.8 and produced a 125 km-long ground rupture that stretched from Dingalan, Aurora to Kayapa, Nueva Vizcaya. The event was a result of strike-slip movements ...
