Seismicity Report for Northern California,
the Nation, and the World for the week of
September 15 - 21, 1994

San Francisco Bay Area
Another quiet week in the Bay Area with activity similar to that of
the previous week. For the seven-day period ending at midnight on
Wednesday, September 21, 1994 the U.S. Geological Survey office in Menlo
Park recorded 19 earthquakes of magnitude one (M1) and greater within the
San Francisco Bay area shown in Figure 1. Of these, five were as large as
M2.0. This total compares to 23 earthquakes during the previous seven-day
period (September 8 - 14), five of which were as large as M2.
As was the case last week, the Calaveras fault was comparatively quiet
with less than half a dozen earthquakes, two of which were as large as
M2.0. the first of these was a M2.5 last Saturday morning on the central
Calaveras about 11 miles north of Morgan Hill (#2 in figure 1). A second
M2.5 occurred early Wednesday about six miles northeast of Gilroy (#5/1).
With one exception, the San Andreas was active only along the creeping
segment with half a dozen events occurring from San Juan Bautista on
south. Two were as large as M2, a M2.0 Monday afternoon just two miles
west of San Juan Bautista and a M2.2 Wednesday afternoon about three miles
south of San Juan Bautista (#4/1). The only other activity on the San
Andreas was a M1.2 last Thursday morning on the Peninsula segment about
two miles east of Pacifica (#1/1).
Other earthquakes of note include a trio of M1's on the northern
Hayward fault beneath the Berkeley foothills (#3/1) and a M2.1 northeast
of Livermore (#6/1).
Northern & Central California
Aftershocks to last week's M6.0 southeast of Lake Tahoe continued at a
fair clip well into the current reporting period. As of Tuesday evening a
total of 268 aftershocks of magnitude 2 or larger had been recorded,
including eight that were magnitude 4 or larger. Interestingly four the
M4 aftershocks occurred within a 12-hour period Monday evening/Tuesday
morning, over a week after the mainshock (#1/2). While these late
aftershocks were felt as far north as Reno, NV and as far west as
Sacramento, CA they produced no injury or damage.
USGS seismologist Paul Reasenberg compared this aftershock sequence to
an "average California aftershock sequence. His conclusions, edited for
brevity, follow:
"The aftershock sequence . . . appears to be close to typical
for a California aftershock sequence when all the earthquakes in
the sequence are considered. . . . The statistical model for the
sequence does not significantly depart from that found for the
average or "generic" California aftershock sequence. . . .
Furthermore, while the timing of the [late] aftershocks is
unusual, the overall earthquake sequence, including 268
earthquakes of magnitude 2 or larger, is not unusual in a
statistical sense."
"To put this in an historical perspective, recall that the
aftershock sequence following the 1983 Coalinga, CA (M6.5)
earthquake included a relatively large number of large and 'late'
aftershocks. In that sequence, eight magnitude 5.0 and larger
aftershocks occurred in the first 5 months. Five of these
occurred more than 60 days after the mainshock."
The only other area in northern California that was exceptionally
active was the Mendocino fracture zone, itself experiencing aftershocks to
a M7.0 earthquake on September 1. The largest earthquake this week was a
M4.3 Tuesday evening that was located about 21 miles west of Petrolia
(#7/2). It was followed by a pair of M3's within the next six hours.
Long Valley Caldera
During the past week only one earthquake as large as M2 occurred in the
Long Valley caldera area, a M2.6 last Thursday morning that was located
beneath the central resurgent dome, about five miles northeast of Mammoth
Lakes (#1/3).
USA Seismicity (September 13 - 21)
According to data provided by the National Earthquake Information
Center (NEIC), a number of notable earthquakes occurred in the lower 48
states, outside of California, during the past week. Western Colorado
experienced several aftershocks to the September 13th M4.7 in the
Telluride area (#1/4). Largest of these was a M2.8 that was felt at
Telluride. A cluster of four M3 earthquakes occurred in northeastern
Maine early last Friday morning (#2/4). All were felt in the Springfield
area. Two other earthquakes last Friday include a M3.2 in the western
Escalant Desert, southwest of Beryl, Utah (#3/4) and a M3.4 in southern
Nevada about 40 miles north of Las Vegas (#4/4).
The Planet Earth (September 13 - 21)
The largest earthquake during the week was a Ms6.6 southwest of Taiwan
(#3/5). One person was killed and at least 400 people were injured in
Guangdong Province, China and structural damage occurred in Fugian and
Guandong Provinces.
Moderate earthquakes during the week included a pair of M5's in Alaska,
the first a Ms5.1 on the Alaska Peninsula that was felt at Cold Bay, King
Cove, and Sand Point (#2/5) and a Mb5.2 on the central Aleutian Islands
that was felt at Adak (#5/5).

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.
