SOEST Earth Sciences professor Bridget Smith-Konter and graduate student Lauren Ward co-authored a study published recently in Science that revealed unusual surface deformation associated with the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake in the San Andreas Fault area of California.. Watch the video summary of the study here.. Exploring the complexities of the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence. Use up and down arrows to change selection. by Dr. Alka Tripathy-Lang and Dr. Wendy Bohon. Use escape to clear. The July 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence in southeastern California was characterized as surprising because only ~35% of the rupture occurred on previously mapped faults. The sensors provide data on the size, location and time of the aftershocks. Thirty-four hours later, a … The research team, led by scientists at … Preliminary finite fault model, v2. On the 4th of July 2019, the magnitude-6.4 Searles Valley earthquake rattled the region around Ridgecrest, California. The Earthquake Event Page application supports most recent browsers ... M 7.1 - 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake Sequence. RIDGECREST, CALIFORNIA - JULY 04: A crack stretches across the road after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck the area on July 4, 2019 near Ridgecrest, California. Employing more detailed inspection of pre-event high-resolution topography and imagery in combination with field observations, we document evidence of active faulting in the landscape along the entire fault … RIDGECREST, CALIFORNIA – JULY 07: Ridgecrest residents take photos at a recent fault rupture following two large earthquakes in the area on July 7, 2019 near Ridgecrest… The five fault zones in the vicinity of the Ridgecrest earthquake sequence: Owens Valley fault zone, Panamint Valley fault zone, Garlock fault zone, Blackwater fault zone, and San Andreas fault zone. Search... Search. RIDGECREST, Calif. (KABC) -- Before-and-after photos show a massive crack opening up on the desert floor along the fault line following the 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake. Then, on … Magnitude 4.5 earthquake at 1:15pm PDT strikes at Ridgecrest, California on July 16, 2019. 34 hours later, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake ruptured approximately 10 kilometers away from the … We present new 3D source fault representations for the 2019 M 6.4 and M 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence.These representations are based on relocated hypocenter catalogs expanded by template matching and focal mechanisms for M 4 and larger events.Following the approach of Riesner et al., we generate reproducible 3D fault geometries … Explore further Unusual fault rupture during Kaikōura quake Type at least three characters to start auto complete. Ruptures from the magnitude 6.4 event trend northeast to southwest, and ruptures from the … After two quakes shake California, residents wonder: Are we getting close to the Big One. Ruptures in the Ridgecrest earthquake sequence in July ended a few miles from the Garlock fault, which runs east-west for 185 miles (300km) from the San Andreas fault … The ground is displaced by 8 feet along the fault that ruptured in the magnitude 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake of July 5, 2019. Earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 and greater in the Ridgecrest sequence from July 4 to August 15 are shown as black circles. More than 150 kilometers east of the San Andreas Fault, the small town of Ridgecrest, California, was rattled by a magnitude 6.4 earthquake on July 4, 2019.
