Today's M7.0 earthquake in NorCal occurred in a highly seismically active area near the Mendocino Triple Junction where the North American, Pacific, and Gorda plates meet. Notice how this location also marks a transition from northwestern to northern recorded GPS motion.

The earthquake was primarily strike-slip, meaning two tectonic plates slid past each other. These types of earthquakes are less likely to cause tsunami because their movement is primarily horizontal with minimal vertical movement of the ocean floor. x.com/NWS_NTWC/statu…

A M5.9 earthquake struck offshore SW Greece this morning, one minute after a M4.1 foreshock. Strike-slip events here are common, but this one had an unusual sense of slip - probably related to complicated deformation of the underlying Hellenic slab. Read more on our blog:

Last night's M4.2 in San Bernardino was near where the San Jacinto Fault intersects the San Andreas. Per the recently updated map, hazard is high in this area. We don't know when a damaging quake will strike but it's so important to be prepared for them. ow.ly/SGMI50QumhG

A M7.0 earthquake struck the China-Kyrgyzstan border just after midnight, in bitter cold. With severe shaking, this event is likely serious. The quake likely occurred on the South Tien Shan fault, which in the past has produced M8+ events. Read more on our blog; link in my bio.

Heroic and successful efforts were made to save working machines close to the edge of the #lava. The machines were being used to construct defensive walls against lava flow into ##Grindavík - the same walls along which workers drove the machinery to safety.

More than 500 people reported feeling today's M5.9 earthquake offshore Alaska. The quake occurred on the Queen Charlotte-Fairweather Fault - a major strike-slip fault acting as the boundary between the North American and Pacific Plates. Read more on our blog; link in my bio.
