Seismicity Report for Northern California,

San Francisco Bay Area
For the seven-day period ending at midnight on Wednesday, October 12,
1994 the U.S. Geological Survey office in Menlo Park recorded 34
earthquakes of magnitude one (M1) and greater within the San Francisco
Bay area shown in Figure 1. Nine of these were as large as M2 including a
M3.6 on the creeping segment of the San Andreas that was widely felt in
the south bay area. This total compares to 15 earthquakes during the
previous seven-day period (September 29 - October 5), only one of which
was as large as M2.
The total number of earthquakes larger than M1 was greater than for any
week in the past year and a half (since the week of June 3 - 9, 1993).
However, the last time we experienced nine earthquakes larger than M2 was
just five weeks ago when nine of the 25 earthquakes recorded during the
week of September 1 - 7 were larger than M2.
The only area that appeared unusually active during the week was the
San Andreas fault northwest of San Juan Bautista, site of Tuesday's M3.6
event (#5 in figure 1). This earthquake was preceded earlier that morning
by a M3.0 event and was followed by several aftershocks as large as M2.
The most recent similar sequence in this area was a M3.0 in July 1993 that
was followed by four M2 aftershocks.
Other segments of the San Andreas produced minor earthquakes during the
week including a M2.2 on the Loma Prieta segment about six miles north of
Aptos (#2/1) and three M1's on the Peninsula segment. The largest of
these was a M1.3 last Thursday that was located about five miles south of
Portola Valley.
The East Bay was similarly active with a half dozen M1 events on the
Calaveras, three events on the Hayward including a M2.1 beneath eastern
Fremont (#4/1), and a M2.7 on the southern Concord fault about three miles
northeast of Alamo (#1/1).
Northern & Central California
Aftershocks continued both along the Mendocino transform and in the
Markleeville area southeast of Lake Tahoe. The Mendocino activity appears
to be farther offshore and more in the vicinity of the September 1st M7.0
mainshock (#2/2). The largest Mendocino aftershock during the week was a
M3.5 last Friday evening. The Markleeville area, site of a M6.0 on
September 12, saw 27 earthquakes larger than M2, a decrease from 37 the
week before. Four of these were as large as M3 including a M4.4 Sunday
evening that was felt in the Lake Tahoe area (#3/2).
Other earthquakes of note in northern California include a 31-km-deep
event about 40 miles east of Eureka (#5/2), M2 events at both the north
and south ends of the Maacama fault (#8,#6/2), and a small cluster of
events southwest of Lake Almanor that was capped by a M2.0 event early
last Thursday morning (#1/2).
Central California was relatively quiet with seven M2 earthquakes, the
largest a M2.7 Saturday afternoon in the Coalinga area (#4/2).
Long Valley Caldera
No earthquakes as large as M2 occurred within the caldera during the
past week. South of the caldera there were two M2 events: 1) a M2.0
early Sunday morning southeast of Mt. Morrison (#1/3) and 2) a M2.1 early
Sunday afternoon southeast of Mammoth Mountain (#2/3).
USA Seismicity (October 5 - 12)
According to data provided by the National Earthquake Information
Center there were no notable earthquakes in the lower 48 states outside of
California. The only California earthquake not already discussed above
was a M3.7 on the San Andreas about ten miles southwest of the Salton Sea
(#1/4).
The Planet Earth (October 5 - 12)
As is often the case, the western Pacific margin was the most active
region on the planet. Aftershocks continued to last week's M8.0
earthquake off the southern Kuril islands (#1/5). The larger shocks were
felt in the Kurils and northern Hokkaido, Japan where residents were still
coping with the destruction caused by the largest earthquake to strike
this area in decades. In eastern Indonesia a Ms6.9 earthquake struck the
island province of Maluku, killing one and injuring 52 (#3/5). Hundreds
of homes were damaged on Obi island, along with schools, churches, and
public buildings. In the eastern Philippines a Ms6.0 occurred on the
island of Catanduanes, 360 kilometers east of Manila (#5/5). It produced
minor damage to older buildings. Other seismic events of interest include
a probable nuclear explosion in souther Xinjiang, China (#2/5) and a Mb5.5
in the Andreanof Islands of the Aleutian chain (#4/5).

Notes for Table 1:
Origin time in the list is in GMT, in the text and on maps
it is in local time.
N RD: is the number of readings used to locate the event.
N S: is the number of S waves in N RD.
RMS SEC: is the root mean squared residual misfit for the
location is seconds, the lower the better, over 0.3
to 0.5 seconds is getting bad, but this is machine,
not hand timed, data.
ERH: is the estimated horizontal error in kilometers.
ERZ: is the estimated vertical error in kilometers.
N FM: is the number of readings used to compute the magnitude.
REMKS: obtuse region codes that denote the velocity model
used to locate the event.
DUR MAG: is the magnitude as determined from the duration of
the seismograms, not the amplitude. Sort of like
going to echo canyon and measuring how loud your
yell is by counting echos.
FIG: denotes the figure/event number in the maps posted separately.
