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 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 ...
A 4.4-magnitude earthquake shook Southern California Monday afternoon. It happened at around 12:20 p.m. PDT, about two miles from the city of South Pasadena in Los Angeles County, the U.S ...
The Los Angeles Basin is situated along the coast of Southern California at the confluence of the Transverse Ranges and the Peninsular Ranges.The basin is under the influence of several strike-slip and blind thrust faults with geodetic studies providing evidence of the northern basin being shortened in the north–south or northeast–southwest directions at a rate of 4.5–5 millimetres (0.18 ...
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 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 ...
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.
The Puente Hills thrust fault system is the same overall fault network that produced the 1987 Whittier Narrows magnitude 5.9 earthquake, which killed eight people and caused some $358 million in ...
