One died and dozens were injured when a 5.6 magnitude quake shook southern Turkey three weeks after a catastrophic temblor devastated the region. The aftershock, which released less than 1 percent of the energy of the 7.8 quake, was within the range of aftershocks that would be expected, said Debi Kilb, a researcher at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography who studies aftershocks. Scripps Company. (0.2 miles), 2023-02-24 07:33:17 UTC Epicenter at 37.665, -122.513 But the 7.5 aftershock that occurred soon after the first quake was unusual, Dr. Kilb said.

Milpitas Explore Search Natural Hazards While both past California earthquakes have been studied extensively, modern technology is allowing the Turkish quakes to be analyzed in elaborate detail, practically in real time, using ground-based seismic sensors, satellite-borne radar and other instruments. An intensity VII quake is widely felt and can destroy poorly built structures. (1.2 miles), 2023-02-18 04:49:40 UTC Dr. Hubbard said the secondary faults she would be worried about triggering, though, would be those that are closer to Los Angeles, similar to one that caused the 1994 Northridge earthquake in the San Fernando Valley.

Because where science stands now, it's still impossible to guess when exactly an earthquake is going to hit. The North Bay quake was located about 4 miles north of Calistoga, USGS officials said. Still, many experts would note it's more effective to focus on preparation than chasing the dream of earlier predictions. Scientists are analyzing the disaster for clues about the potential strength and location of future West Coast quakes. Even so, some residents were nonplussed by Tuesdays temblor, citing the regions long history of seismic activity. Hough also led the USGS team installing earthquake monitoring equipment and reporting methodsin Haitiafter the catastrophic 2010 earthquake there.
