Event

25 Jul 2022 04:21:07 PDT, (31.907, -116.762), depth 16.7km.
7km W of El Sauzal, B.C., Mexico

Aftershocks

As of 25 Jul 2022, 06:42AM PDT, there have been 2 aftershocks recorded.
The largest was M1.8 (smallest M1.7).
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 1 events during the 3 days prior to the earthquake (within a 10 km radius).
The largest was M2.6 (2022/07/25).

Historical Seismicity

Since our records began in 1932 we’ve had 7 events of M4 or greater within 10km of today’s event.
The largest historic event was M4.5 on 2022/04/15.
The most recent historic event was M4.5 on 15 Apr 2022.

*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.

20 Jul 2017 12:42:21 PDT, (31.847, -117.090), depth 13.0km, 39km W of El Sauzal, B.C., Mexico
Aftershocks: so far there have been no aftershocks recorded. Some 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.
Historical seismicity: since our records began in 1932 we’ve had 1 events of M4 or greater within 10km of today’s event, the largest was M4.2 (1995/01/29) and the most recent was M4.2 on 29 Jan 1995.
