On January 1, 2008, at 1:59 AM in Calipatria, California, an earthquake happened. You haven’t heard of this earthquake; even if you had been living in Calipatria, you wouldn’t have felt anything. It was magnitude -0.53, about the same amount of shaking as a truck passing by. Still, this earthquake is notable, not because it was large but because it …

Scientifically, there isn’t much evidence that that’s true, but UC Berkeley earth science professor Roland Bürgmann said smaller quakes do raise the risk of another, including a large one, in the short term. The USGS’s aftershock predictor indicates that there’s about an 18% chance of another quake greater than magnitude 3 in the surrounding region in the next week. The …

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 rocked the San Francisco Bay Area early Monday, waking up many people, with more 24,000 saying they felt it, according to the United States Geological Survey. The earthquake was just east-southeast of Berkeley, the survey said. It happened shortly before 3 a.m. PDT. People posted online that they felt …

An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 rocked the San Francisco Bay Area early on Monday, waking up many people in the northern California region. The quake hit just east-south-east of Berkeley, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said, and more than 22,000 people said they felt it. No injuries or major damage was reported, but some businesses said windows …

A massive earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula in late July triggered a tsunami that rippled across the Pacific — and NASA’s experimental detection system tracked the event in real-time by monitoring the atmosphere above. NASA’s GUARDIAN (GNSS Upper Atmospheric Real-time Disaster Information and Alert Network) taps into signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), like GPS. When a tsunami forms, …

An earthquake has rattled the San Francisco Bay Area, strong enough to awaken people across the region. The earthquake, which occurred Monday at 2:56 a.m., was estimated at a magnitude 4.3, centered in Berkeley. A preliminary estimate suggested the earthquake was centered around the corner of Dwight Way and Piedmont Avenue, just a few blocks from the UC Berkeley campus. …
