California, known for its seismic activity due to several geological faults such as the famous San Andreas Fault, has always experienced several small quakes most of them which can be either perceived or not perceived by people; however, equipment specialized for this can always catch them.

Quakes near geological faults in California

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) constantly records earthquakes in the United States, so that both experts and the population at large can know everything about current seismic activity in their area.

In this same page, two earthquakes were recorded in the morning of Thursday, September 26 at around 5 AM near California. Though this did not occur on land, they were close to geological faults.

This happened at sea, a few miles away from Ferndale and Petrolia in California, very close to a geological fault, specifically in the Mendocino Fracture Zone, an undersea fracture.

On Wednesday, September 25, a 2.5 earthquake was recorded near The Geysers, while today on Thursday at 9:42 AM, an earthquake occurred with the same magnitude but 7 miles from Barstow. The most recent quake occurred at 10:37 AM and it had a magnitude of 2.7, plus, it was near the San Andreas Fault in the southern side of the state. These quakes, though their intensity has been relatively low, serve as a reminder of the constant tectonic activity that characterizes the region.

In addition, this is happening around 3 days after three earthquakes were recorded in the state of California. Though telluric movements are common in California, and no significant damages have been caused, residents and authorities are on alert. In addition, one should always be prepared for an earthquake in this state which historically has had important telluric movements.
