  • 16 Mar 2025 20:17:21 PDT, (34.067, -118.895), depth 14.4km.
  • 10km NW of Malibu, California

Aftershocks

  • As of 16 Mar 2025, 08:48PM PDT, there has been 1 aftershock recorded, M1.5.
  • 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 8 events of M4 or greater within 10km of today’s event.
  • The largest historic event was M5.3 on 1973/02/21.
  • The most recent historic event was M4.1 on 09 Mar 2025.

Faults

  • .*
  • Nearby faults: Malibu Coast fault zone (Malibu Coast fault) (3.0 km), Malibu Coast fault zone (Escondido thrust) (5.9 km), Anacapa-Dume fault (8.5 km), Boney Mountain fault (8.7 km), Sycamore Canyon fault (10.1 km), Santa Monica fault (offshore) (11.0 km), Malibu Coast fault zone (Latigo fault) (11.4 km), Malibu Coast fault zone (Solstice fault) (12.2 km) and Malibu Coast fault zone (Puerco Canyon fault) (14.6 km).**

Additional Information




*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.

  • 10 Feb 2022 16:25:02 PST, (34.417, -119.132), depth 18.7km.
  • 10km NW of Santa Paula, California

Aftershocks

  • As of 11 Feb 2022, 10:05AM PST, there have been 8 aftershocks recorded.
  • The largest was M2.6 (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.

Possible Foreshocks

  • There were 3 events during the 3 days prior to the earthquake (within a 10 km radius).
  • The largest was M2.2 (2022/02/10).

Historical Seismicity

  • Since our records began in 1932 we’ve had 5 events of M4 or greater within 10km of today’s event.
  • The largest historic event was M4.3 on 1954/11/17.
  • The most recent historic event was M4.1 on 12 Mar 2016.

Faults

  • CFM fault associations: most likely Not associated with a CFM modeled fault (62%). Alternates: Southern San Cayetano; Ventura segment (25%), Other CFM faults (13%).*
  • Nearby faults: Sisar fault zone (Big Canyon fault) (1.5 km), Lion Canyon fault (1.5 km), Sisar fault zone (Sisar fault) (1.5 km), San Cayetano fault (1.8 km), Mission Ridge fault system, Santa Ana section (Santa Ana fault) (4.4 km), Oak Ridge fault (6.3 km), Sisar fault (6.8 km), faults of Orcutt and Timber Canyons (Orcutt fault) (7.7 km), Faults near Oakview and Meiners Oaks (La Vista fault) (10.0 km), faults of Orcutt and Timber Canyons (Culbertson fault) (10.4 km), faults near Oakview and Meiners Oaks (Villanova fault) (11.0 km), faults near Oakview and Meiners Oaks (Devils Gulch fault) (11.8 km), Santa Ynez fault zone, eastern section (12.6 km) and faults near Oakview and Meiners Oaks (Oak View fault) (12.7 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.
