There was a small earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area on Saturday, November 5, that measured 3.2 on the Richter Scale. Do you remember the earthquake we had in August? That one measured 5.9 on the scale.
We don’t seem to experience many earthquakes where we live; however, in California earthquakes are more common because of the San Andrea Fault. This major fault runs north and south through the state for approximately 800 miles. The US Geological Society monitors ALL seismic or earthquake activity to include the earthquake we had in August. In the San Francisco Bay Area between Saturday and today, Monday, Nov 7, there were eight (8) quakes measuring over 2.0 on the scale. In California since November 1, there have been 325 earthquakes registering over 1.0. Generally, quakes registering between 1.0 and 2.9 cannot be felt by us.
In April 1906, there was a major earthquake to hit San Francisco. It registered 7.9 and destroyed a major part of the city. Do you know of any other earthquakes that have hit around the world in 2011? Do a Google search? See what you find.
