The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reports throughout the day the magnitude, time and location of the epicenter of the earthquakes that occurred in California today, November 18.
The western US state is one of the most seismically active regions in the world, due to its location along the San Andreas Fault System, a complex network of faults that mark the boundary between the Pacific tectonic plates. and North America. In that line, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) broadcasts throughout the day the magnitude, time and location of the epicenter of the earthquakes that occurred in California today, Saturday, November 18.
California’s seismic activity is not only due to plate movements but also to the presence of other geological features, such as the Mendocino Triple Junction, where three tectonic plates intersect. This complex interaction of geological forces contributes to the high seismicity of the region.
Tremor in California today, November 18
The United States Geological Survey is the primary organization that reports on earthquakes in California. They have a network of seismometers across the state that continually monitor ground motion. When a tremor occurs, seismometers send signals to the USGS, which are then analyzed to determine the location, magnitude and depth of the seismic activity.
