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 28, 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, three were as large as
M2.0 including a M3.2 southeast of Hollister. This total compares to 19
earthquakes during the previous seven-day period (September 15 - 21), five
of which were as large as M2.
The M3.2 occurred Tuesday morning on the creeping segment of the San
Andreas about eleven miles east-southeast of Hollister (#5 in figure 1).
The most recent earthquake of this size in this area was a M3.0 last
February 17.
The Calaveras fault continued to be comparatively quiet with only about
half a dozen earthquakes as large as M1. Largest of these was a M2.3
Sunday afternoon that was located about 11 miles north of Morgan Hill
(#3/1). This is the fifth week in a row that an earthquake as large as M2
has occurred in this location.
The only other earthquake as large as M2 was a M2.3 Monday morning on
the central Concord fault (#4/1). A similar sized earthquake occurred in
nearly the same location on August 20.
Northern & Central California
A fairly quiet week except for a couple of active aftershock sequences.
The aftershocks kept popping off in both the Markleeville area and along
the Mendocino fracture zone. Most active was the Markleeville area where
over 50 aftershocks as large as M2 occurred including twelve M3 events
(#4/2). These are aftershocks to a M6.0 mainshock on September 12.
Activity along the Mendocino transform continued to decrease nearly a
month after the M7.0 occurred 100 miles off the coast. Although many
aftershocks were recorded during the week along the transform, none were
as large as M3 (#1/2).
Instead, a couple of M3 events occurred onshore from the coast. First
was a M3.1 last Thursday evening that was felt in the Redding area (#2/2).
This is the largest earthquake in the Redding area since a pair of M3's
occurred northwest of the town in early March of this year. Early Tuesday
morning a M3.7 occurred south of Eureka (#6/2). With a focal depth of 28
km, it was clearly related to the subduction of the Gorda Plate beneath
the leading edge of the North American continent. Interestingly, a
slightly smaller subuction earthquake occurred farther east the previous
morning (#5/2). This quake had a focal depth of 32 km and occurred close
to where the dip of the seismogenic zone steepens from ~15 degrees to ~25
degrees. The seismogenic zone (and presumably the subducting plate that
it represents) maintains this angle as far as the eastern side of the
Sacramento Valley where earthquakes have been observed with focal depths
of nearly 90 km.
The only other earthquakes of note in the region were a M2.3 on the
Rogers Creek fault north of Santa Rosa (#3/2) and a M3.1 along the western
edge of the San Joaquin Valley just ten miles northwest of Los Banos
(#7/2).
Long Valley Caldera
A fairly quiet week at Long Valley as well with just two earthquakes as
large as M2 within the caldera. The first was a M2.5 that occurred last
Sunday afternoon beneath south side of the town of Mammoth Lakes (#1/3).
A slightly smaller M2.1 followed early Tuesday about a mile farther south
(#2/3).
The region south of the caldera remained quiet with no events as large
as M2.
USA Seismicity (September 18 - 28)
Several notable earthquakes occurred in the lower 48 states during the
past week, according to data provided by the National Earthquake
Information Center in Golden, CO. Largest of these was a Mb4.1 along the
north shore of the St. Lawrence River in the Canadian province of Quebec
(#4/4). The quake was felt strongly in the Charlevoix region and, less
strongly, in the Saguenay region, as well as in the northern New
Brunswick/northern Maine area.
Also widely felt was a M3.6 in the New Madrid region (#5/4). The
small temblor occurred Monday morning beneath western Kentucky and was
felt in the Paducah-Hickman areas and in the Mound City area, Illinois.
A M3.8 in the Yellowstone region, Wyoming was felt most strongly at
Artist Point (#3/4). Other earthquakes of note include a M3.1 in the
Diamond Valley area of north-central Nevada (#1/4) and a M2.9 occurred
along the Washington/Oregon border east of the John Day dam (#2/4).
The Planet Earth (September 18 - 28)
The only earthquake large enough to be considered 'large' was a M6.0
beneath the Bismark Sea (#3/5). Moderate earthquakes included a pair of
M5.0's east of the Japanese Island of Honshu (#1/5), a Mb5.2 in Qinghai,
China (#4/5), a M5.2 in western Iran (#2/5), and a pair of M5's in the
southern Java Sea, about 250 km northeast of Jakarta (#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.
