The San Diego Trough Fault Zone is a group of connected right-lateral strike-slip faults that run parallel to the coast of Southern California, United States, for 150–166 km (93–103 mi). The fault zone takes up 25% of the slip within the Inner Continental Borderlands.
The Rose Canyon Fault is a right-lateral strike-slip fault that runs in a north–south direction off the coast of San Diego County, California, until it comes ashore near downtown San Diego. The fault is linked to the Newport–Inglewood Fault (NIFZ) in the north and either the Agua Blanca Fault or San Miguel–Vallecitos Fault Zone in the ...
Probabilistic seismic hazard map. The earliest known earthquake in the U.S. state of California was documented in 1769 by the Spanish explorers and Catholic missionaries of the Portolá expedition as they traveled northward from San Diego along the Santa Ana River near the present site of Los Angeles. Ship captains and other explorers also ...
The magnitude 4.2 quake was reported at 6:16 p.m. 11 miles from Temecula, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
USGS shakemap of one of the strongest aftershocks Map of northern Baja California and Southern California with earthquakes shortly after the main earthquake. Four aftershocks with a magnitude of at least 5 have been reported; one at a magnitude of 5.2, [ 16 ] one at 5.4, [ 17 ] one at 5.1, [ 18 ] and one at a magnitude of 5.7, all four within ...
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 ...
In San Diego it is known as the Rose Canyon Fault. The fault can be inferred on the Earth's surface as passing along and through a line of hills extending from Signal Hill to Culver City. 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 ...
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.
