The following is from CalTech/USGS:
For your information, the following is a
summary of the recent earthquake
activity at Bombay Beach:
An earthquake swarm near Bombay Beach in
the Salton Sea area began on March 21st,
2009, with a M1.8 earthquake, located
3km SSE of Bombay Beach. The swarm has
continued through today, with the
largest event having occurred this
morning at 04:55AM PDT, a M4.8
earthquake, located 4km S of Bombay
Beach. So far, there have been 66 events
between M0.8 and M4.8, and the events
continue through this morning.
The M4.8 moment tensor solution displays
strike-slip motion, with the preferred
nodal plane strike of N57E, with an
uncertainty of 8 degrees. This is
consistent with a fault or faults
orthogonal to the San Andreas fault,
located in the northern Brawley Seismic
Zone. Before 2001, there were few events
that had occurred in the northern
Brawley Seismic Zone. The southern
Brawley Seismic Zone is much more
active, with events occurring on a
regular basis.
From 1932 to 2009, we recorded 722
events within a 5km radius of this
current swarm. Most of the historical
events recorded within 5 km of the
current swarm were portions of earlier
Bombay Beach swarms. Historically, the
larger events (>M3.0) occurred less
frequently, but still total 22.
Prior to this morning, the largest event
recorded in this 5km region of Bombay
Beach was a M4.2 earthquake. This event
occurred on 11/13/99, and was triggered
by the Hector Mine Earthquake, which
occurred on 10/16/1999. The list of
current events for the swarm can be
viewed below. We will continue to
monitor the area, and post any new
information at
www.SCSN.org
For additional information visit
www.scsn.org
It is a good time to ensure the
readiness of systems essential to
emergency operations and remind the
public about the importance of being
prepared for earthquakes. |
