Northern California Seismicity Report for the week ending
Jun 27, 2002
This report provides a brief summary of earthquake activity recorded by
the U.S. Geological Survey Northern California Seismic Network in Menlo
Park and the University of California Berkeley Seismological
Laboratory. It is automatically generated each Wednesday shortly after
midnight, Universal time (UT). UT (ie., Greenwich Mean Time) is 8 hours
ahead of PST or 7 hours ahead of PDT.
Because it is not possible
to review all of the earthquakes before this report is generated, it
may contain errors. Please report errors or provide suggestions and comments to
ncsn@andreas.wr.usgs.gov
The report no longer includes maps showing earthquakes for the entire
US or world. Those maps are now available from the
U.S.G.S. National Earthquake Information Center.
In addition, all earthquake data can be retrieved from the
Northern California Earthquake Data Center.
Please note that some of the earthquake
data in this report have been reviewed by seismic analysts.
Consequently, the parameters that describe the hypocenter, magnitude,
origin time, and solution statistics may differ slightly from the
information contained on the real-time earthquake web page. The differences
reflect revised arrival times at seismic stations and the analysts'
decisions to include or exclude information from seismic stations.
The minimum magnitude ( M) values in the
following bullets reflect the smallest earthquake which the network can
routinely record within the region. During the previous seven-day
period ending at midnight (UT) Wednesday, our seismic networks recorded
- 19 M >2.0 earthquakes in Northern and Central California
(map) (within dashed polygon of figure).
The largest event to occur this week in this region was a minor earthquake of magnitude 3.4, 1 miles S of Lopez Point, CA at 07:43 AM UTC Friday, 06 21, 2002 (12:43 AM PDT Friday, Jun 21, 2002).
- 4 M >1.2 earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay area
(map).
The largest event to occur this week in this region was a microearthquake of magnitude 2.1, 4 miles S of Hollister, CA at 09:10 PM UTC Tuesday, 06 25, 2002 (02:10 PM PDT Tuesday, Jun 25, 2002).
- 16 M >1.2 earthquakes in the Long Valley region
(map).
The largest event to occur this week in this region was a microearthquake of magnitude 2.9, 4 miles WSW of Mammoth Lakes, CA at 08:00 PM UTC Tuesday, 06 25, 2002 (01:00 PM PDT Tuesday, Jun 25, 2002).
The following table provides a listing of all
M
>2 earthquakes that occurred this week. An
