  • 22 Dec 2024 11:03:49 PST, (35.772, -118.012), depth 2.7km.
  • 21km SSW of Little Lake, California

Aftershocks

  • As of 22 Dec 2024, 12:01PM PST, there have been 2 aftershocks recorded.
  • The largest was M1.6 (smallest M1.4).
  • 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.

Historical Seismicity

  • Since our records began in 1932 we’ve had 26 events of M4 or greater within 10km of today’s event.
  • The largest historic event was M6.3 on 1946/03/15.
  • The most recent historic event was M4.1 on 17 May 2001.

Faults

  • CFM fault associations: most likely Scodie Lineament (64%). Alternates: Not associated with a CFM modeled fault (33%), Other CFM faults (3%).*
  • Nearby faults: Southern Sierra Nevada fault zone, Haiwee Reservoir section (Sierra Nevada flt) (10.1 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.

Aftershocks

  • As of 09 Jun 2024, 07:32AM PDT, there have been 3 aftershocks recorded.
  • The largest was M3.4 (smallest M1.1).
  • 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 M2.8 (2024/06/05).

Historical Seismicity

  • Since our records began in 1932 we’ve had 45 events of M4 or greater within 10km of today’s event.
  • The largest historic event was M6.4 on 1933/03/11.
  • The most recent historic event was M4.8 on 07 Apr 1989.

Faults

  • CFM fault associations: most likely Newport; Inglewood fault segment (55%). Alternates: Not associated with a CFM modeled fault (22%), Other CFM faults (23%).*
  • Nearby faults: Newport-Inglewood-Rose Canyon fault zone, South Los Angeles basin section (2.1 km), Newport-Inglewood-Rose Canyon fault zone, Dana Point section (3.6 km), Pelican Hill fault (3.7 km) and THUMS-Huntington Beach (8.6 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.
