  • 19 Apr 2022 13:30:08 PDT, (32.915, -115.513), depth 17.7km.
  • 7km SSE of Brawley, California

Aftershocks

  • As of 19 Apr 2022, 01:42PM PDT, there have been no aftershocks recorded.
  • Aftershocks may be expected in the next few days, the largest expected is approximately 1 magnitude unit smaller than the mainshock.
  • There is a small chance (about 5%) that a larger quake could occur, with the likelihood decreasing over time.

Possible Foreshocks

  • There were 3 events during the 3 days prior to the earthquake (within a 10 km radius).
  • The largest was M3.6 (2022/04/19 at 13:22 PDT).

Historical Seismicity

  • Since our records began in 1932 we’ve had 99 events of M4 or greater within 10km of today’s event.
  • The largest historic event was M6.9 on 1940/05/19.
  • The most recent historic event was M4.0 on 01 Oct 2020.

Faults

  • CFM fault associations: most likely Imperial fault; Edip segment (38%). Alternates: Not associated with a CFM modeled fault (14%), Other CFM faults (48%).*
  • Nearby faults: Imperial fault (2.6 km), Brawley seismic zone (Brawley fault zone) (3.2 km), Brawley seismic zone (5.4 km), San Jacinto fault zone, Superstition Hills section (Wienert fault) (13.0 km) and San Jacinto fault zone, Superstition Hills section (Superstition Hills flt) (13.8 km).**

Additional Information


Below are the waveform data associated with this event, as recorded in our Live Seismograms Feed.


*Earthquakes can occur both near or on major known faults, and in places where no clear fault zones are known. Using the statistical method of Evans et al. (in prep. 2019) the location and focal mechanism of this earthquake suggest the above association with modeled faults in the Community Fault Model (CFM) provided by the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) and Harvard University. Note that the CFM fault association may be different from the nearby faults list. Differences may arise due to different fault databases, and because the CFM fault association uses the hypocenter with relation to subsurface 3-dimensional fault orientation models, while the nearby faults list utilizes mapped surface traces as they relate to the epicenter.

CFM Fault: SCEC CFM 5.0 Fault name and closest segment if available; The CFM is maintained by Harvard University, Dept of Earth & Planetary Sciences.

Probability: The probability in percent the earthquake is associated with this fault.

  • CFM fault associations: most likely White Wolf fault (80%). Alternates: Not associated with a CFM modeled fault (19%), Other CFM faults (1%).*
  • Nearby faults: Wheeler Ridge fault zone (Wheeler Ridge fault) (1.7 km), unnamed faults (1952 earthquake fractures) (3.9 km), Pleito fault zone, western Pleito section (Pleito fault) (6.3 km) and Pleito fault zone, eastern Pleito section (Pleito fault) (6.9 km).**

Additional Information


Below are the waveform data associated with this event, as recorded in our Live Seismograms Feed. Notice the M2.8 aftershock less than 1 minute following the mainshock.


*Earthquakes can occur both near or on major known faults, and in places where no clear fault zones are known. Using the statistical method of Evans et al. (in prep. 2019) the location and focal mechanism of this earthquake suggest the above association with modeled faults in the Community Fault Model (CFM) provided by the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) and Harvard University. Note that the CFM fault association may be different from the nearby faults list. Differences may arise due to different fault databases, and because the CFM fault association uses the hypocenter with relation to subsurface 3-dimensional fault orientation models, while the nearby faults list utilizes mapped surface traces as they relate to the epicenter.

CFM Fault: SCEC CFM 5.0 Fault name and closest segment if available; The CFM is maintained by Harvard University, Dept of Earth & Planetary Sciences.

Probability: The probability in percent the earthquake is associated with this fault.

  • 12 Jan 2022 19:19:08 PST, (33.472, -116.445), depth 13.9km.
  • 23km ESE of Anza, California

Aftershocks

  • As of 13 Jan 2022, 07:14AM PST, there have been 95 aftershocks recorded.
  • The largest was M2.9 (smallest M0.2).
  • More aftershocks may be expected in the next few days, the largest expected is approximately 1 magnitude unit smaller than the mainshock.
  • There is a small chance (about 5%) that a larger quake could occur, with the likelihood decreasing over time.

Possible Foreshocks

  • There were 3 events during the 3 days prior to the earthquake (within a 10 km radius).
  • The largest was M0.8 (2022/01/13).

Historical Seismicity

  • Since our records began in 1932 we’ve had 40 events of M4 or greater within 10km of today’s event.
  • The largest historic event was M6.0 on 1937/03/25.
  • The most recent historic event was M4.9 on 04 Apr 2020.

Faults

  • CFM fault associations: most likely Clark fault; south segment (52%). Alternates: Not associated with a CFM modeled fault (4%), Other CFM faults (44%).*
  • Nearby faults: San Jacinto fault zone, Anza section (Clark fault) (1.4 km), San Jacinto fault zone, Anza section (Buck Ridge fault) (2.5 km), San Jacinto fault zone, Anza section (2.7 km), San Jacinto fault zone, Coyote Creek section (5.2 km) and San Jacinto fault zone, Coyote Creek section (Coyote Creek fault) (5.5 km).**
