Scientists uncover hidden earthquake threat lurking beneath Northern California’s fault zone
Beneath the bustling cities and rugged landscapes of Northern California, a hidden and potentially dangerous world of seismic activity has been silently unfolding for years. The region, known for its ...
A magnitude 3.1 earthquake was recorded in Northern California on Wednesday night, March 4, 2026, according to the USGS.
A minor, 4.0-magnitude earthquake struck in Northern California on Wednesday, according to the United States Geological Survey. The temblor happened at 6:16 a.m. Pacific time about 5 miles east of ...
The Mendocino Triple Junction is the meeting point of three tectonic plates. Using data from tiny earthquakes, researchers at USGS, UC Davis and CU Boulder propose a new model for this seismic zone.
The work, by researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey, UC Davis, and the University of Colorado Boulder, is published Jan. 15 in Science. “If we don’t understand the underlying tectonic processes, it ...
